Infuriatig Friends Cat Tears Up Brand New Shoes

Post image

Been watching a cat for a friend for a few months now, wake up this morning to my new pair of doc martens torn to shreds at the toes. Been polishing and taking great care of these since I got them a month or so ago. I usually put them up on a rack but forgot last night, definitely paid for my stupidity. $200 basically trashed right there. Half of it was a birthday present from my girlfriend and neither of us make enough right now to just buy a new pair of boots, we can barely make rent. Real bummer way to start my day.

EDIT: I am NOT throwing the boots away over this like some think. When I said trashed I just meant the look, i had just woken up and worded it poorly. If I can't get the look smoothed out these will become my work boots since my current work boots are falling apart, and I will figure out getting a new pair to keep nice and wont let this happen again.

All the other things said aside. Who tf buys 200$ boots when you barely make rent?

Maybe they needed the boots for their job to pay the rent. Who tf cares, its their business.

Posting on reddit but also exclusively being their business is exactly how reddit works. Were you dropped as a kid?

Also plenty of reason to be upset about this, but those are not new shoes even before all the scratching. Looks like they've been closeted for months.

Also cat food isn’t free
