Okay, so I've had to keep Remy out in the living room with me when I work, usually leashed to me/my chair/my desk, so I can make sure he's not destroying things he should not. (I do not have a crate, that is being fixed today. Provided it gets here today.
My roommate, knowing I was going to get another dog, has had nothing but attitude since Remy came home. Now, Remy is higher energy than Logan. He is used to cats being used to him, so when he sees the cat, he wants to play. She complains about this. (The roommate, not the cat)
This morning, someone on the work crew was waving and making faces outside our patio door, and Remy was barking. So she started yelling at him. THEN she brings the cat out into the living room, where he's connected to my desk, and lets her wander around, despite the fact he is going wild - making all the puppy play barks, trying to play bow and get closer to her. Meanwhile, I am on the phone with new job IT. Finally she walks over and is getting into Remy's things (the dog bed, the rope, his ball, his bone), and Remy jumps up and tries to run over and play, jerking my whole desk. But I am clearly in the wrong for asking her for help/to put the cat back in her room.
NOW, I am not saying the cat should be prisoner. But SHE locks the cat in her room almost her every work day, because the cat will cry if she's not paid attention to when she wants it, or will climb up her legs and claw her up. SO WHY would she do this, other than to cause problems for me, because she thinks Remy isn't 'going to match up with my lifestyle'.
