Teen Sparks Outrage After Revealing Plan To Snatch Little Sister's Beloved Cat When Moving Out

Our narrator’s (Original Poster) house was bustling with life—feline life, to be exact. At eighteen, she found herself cohabitating with their parents, seven-year-old sister, and an impressive collection of four cats. 

The feline family included Joey, Vesper, and their two adorable kittens. Initially, the plan was to rehome the kittens because, let's face it, four cats can be a handful. 

However, OP’s mom quickly fell head over heels for the little furballs and convinced their dad to keep them—and that’s how they became a family of eight—four humans and four cats. 

Funny how the feline party started with a single cat—Joey. Although he was meant to be their sister’s pet, he chose OP as his favorite human. 

This cat made it his mission to shadow their every move and even perched on their shoulders as if they were his personal human tree. So, it shouldn’t have come as a shock when OP declared she wanted to take Joey and Vespa along while moving out. 

The reasons were straightforward: their sister’s mild cat allergy, the overwhelming task of managing a single litter box for four cats, and their mom’s deep attachment to the kittens. 

Besides, OP couldn’t bear the thought of leaving Joey behind. Taking Vesper felt right, too, since she and Joey grew up together. There was just one problem: their sister.

Though she was young and definitely not up to the task of caring for a pet, she loved Joey deeply. OP worried that taking him might breed a cold war between them. 

The sister suggested taking Vesper and one kitten instead, but honestly, OP didn’t like them all that much; Joey was their favorite furball.

Were they being selfish by wanting to take Joey along?
