My [25F] roommate [27F] no has said either she or our cat moves out

Hi everyone

I’m feeling kinda stuck. We adopted a cat about one week ago. He’s both of ours, and it was her idea to adopt him. He’s only been here one week, I’ve been the one mostly taking care of him. Ever since he’s been here she’s been getting annoyed over everything he does. He tracks his litter a little out of his box, he loses hair, and he has peed in our bathtub.

She found a scratch on the TV and freaked out on the cat, of course no one knows what happened. She just had a panic attack and was screaming and said either the cat moves or she does. I’m finding it really hard to have sympathy for her right now, because we’re two adults who chose to adopt a cat and now she can’t deal with normal cat behaviour. Yes, the peeing in the bathtub is something we need to figure out, as well as how to make sure there isn’t kitty litter everywhere. But he has only been here one week, these are normal things to figure out. I don’t think it’s right to adopt a cat and then give up on him this quickly.

If anyone has any advice, I’d be really grateful.

TLDR: she suggested we get a cat and now she hates said cat
