Woman Ignores Warnings About Not Feeding The Neighbors Cat, Learns Her Lesson The Hard Way
Being a good neighbor can mean a lot of different things, but if there’s one rule, it’s to remain approachable.
However, when Reddit user Sweet-Rainbow- noticed that the lady next door was feeding their cat, she not only refused to acknowledge their concerns, but also started gaslighting them about the pet’s diet—as if running into the animal every once in a while allowed her to understand it better than the owner ever could.
Luckily, karma didn’t sit this one out and taught her a valuable lesson.

This story is an example of why so many people aren’t happy with their neighbors
LendingTree surveyed 2,000 Americans to find out how well they get along with their neighbors, and a quarter (24%) said they dislike at least one. The biggest reasons were:
- Rude or unfriendly (48%)
- Makes too much noise (31%)
- Too nosy (29%)
- Personal incident (20%)
- Unruly pets (19%)
- Doesn’t maintain home/lawn (18%)
- Unruly children (14%)
- Doesn’t follow local parking rules (13%)
- Trespasses on property (10%)
- Other (9%)
Seventeen percent of Americans — just like our Redditor — said they’ve been in a verbal altercation with a neighbor, while 7% have even cited a physical confrontation.
Quite surprisingly, about a fifth (19%) of Americans have moved because of an unlikeable neighbor, which is more than three times as likely among Millennials (28%) as among Baby Boomers (8%).
This time, however, it seems the lady has come to her senses, and something so drastic won’t be necessary.
People were glad to see the woman get what was coming to her
Although some would have liked to see the owner show more responsibility

“My cat is an indoor cat… except when she isn’t.” No need to read further.

It's weird that op wrote the cat is an indoor cat that only goes as far as the hallway/window, but then claims he goes meowing to the neighbors door at 5 am. Make it make sense.

Can’t don’t perform like this. Also, I thought it was an indoor cat? You’re telling me she just decided to leave her cat out all night? This never happened.

Agree, complete fiction. But the meowing but is not too far a stretch from things that can happen. Many cat owners know that they can develop a habit of meowing and sometimes jumping on faces at a fairly consistent time every morning to demand their breakfast.

This fiction would make so much more sense if you made the antagonist your flatmate not your neighbour.

What is the point of leaving the door "slightly open"? Keep your cat inside. Problem solved.

ESH. You keep letting your cat out, your neighbour keeps feeding it. Quid pro quo.

Hey, I let my pet roam around and throw a fit when other people give it treats. But I won't do the obvious solution and keep it at home, instead I'll throw a fit on Reddit!

I had an elderly, kind, lonely neighbor who went through a lot in his life, largely for being gay. He would give my little dog treats when I didn't want him to. Little dog got pancreatitis, and I got a giant vet bill. One of my biggest regrets was not standing my ground and hurting my dog; that was the end of the treats.
