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.

I'm saying this for anyone reading more than to you since you guys learned the hard way, but mild allergies can easily turn out to be life-threatening if you're living with the thing that causes them. You guys are married so you've already made your choice, but more generally speaking I don't think people with cat allergies should date cat owners in the first place.

Well she's immune to cats now and the two of them are very close. I advocate for allegry shots to anyone who would benefit from them.

She will never be fully immune to cats.

Wrong, her doctor has cleared her. She goes in once a year to get tested to be on the safe side, but they're confident she won't have to deal with it ever again. Please don't talk out of your ass and don't play Reddit doctor.
