Because her babysitter cancelled and she was in a huge bind? And I did it because I'm a good neighbor. The same neighbor who asked me to let her dogs in and out over a three-day weekend in February when they didn't bother to shovel the snow?

Well, I asked her to feed my cats on Saturday night while I was out of town for the weekend. I know my cats will make it for 48 hours, but they live 5 feet away and owe me. She said no problem. I reminded her yesterday with a text and she said again, "no problem." Well guess WHO DIDN'T FUCKING FEED MY CATS?!?

How do I know this? The can I left on the counter is still there. The dry food bowl was almost empty and they were out of water. I sent her a text at 8 pm that said "You didn't feed the cats? Is everything OK?" and have received no response. I am so pissed. Guess it will be easy to say no to whatever she asks of me next. It would have taken her (actually, it would have taken her 8 year old daughter) 3 minutes. Mom just needs to supervise the locking of the door.

Anything more than 48 hours, I use a professional catsitter.

I will feel bad if something bad did happen, which is why I asked if she was OK. They are home right now and still no response to the text.

Exactly. Having the 9-1 on your cell phone, ready to put in that last 1 & dial might be just the right amount of dramatic concern.

Any word? I just don't comprehend this level of bullshit. We asked the neighbor to borrow her potato masher. I returned it with a jar of jam for her trouble. Why is it hard to not be an asshole???
