It's not on, is it?
My housemate just did it to me. Came home yesterday and lo and behold there's a cat.
It's not even the cat that's annoyed me, it's the fact he didn't ask if it was ok. I don't think our landlord allows pets for starters and secondly I don't want it smelling the place up..
Still, I probably would have said OK to it under some conditions (Cat related loss of deposit = all on him, etc)..

I just think it's a total dick move.

Take it straight to an animal refuge or whatever they're called, tell him it ran away. If it ain't chipped, you should get away with it! biggrin

I already have a goldfish. I guess I'll have to get some kind of cat protection for him now.

Buy a dog that would eat the cat and bite the housemate. Dog then has to go, cat is gone and the housemate has learned a valuable lesson. It's the only sensible way forward

Put the cat in the bin, like that woman from Coventry.

Get a goat. Or just tell your housemate to move out. Keep the cat.

Get 2 cats. Watch the situation escalate rapidly out of control. Open your own Zoo. Reap the rewards.

Cats are pretty cool, they can be stinkers until they get to go outside. Ours spends 50% of its time outside, so dont require litter tray, no more stinker.

We have no cat flap and I'm pretty sure he said it's going to be a house cat. My housemates pretty prissy, so if I just force him to have all the stinky st in his room he'll probably get rid of the cat on his own.
