my roommate wants to get a cat . but he 's already irresponsible enough as it is , and ca n't clean up after himself . how can he clean up after a cat , too ? but i do n't want to be the person to say no .. i think you will need to tell him how you feel about this . otherwise you may end up taking more care of the cat than him . yeah , you 're right . i 'm not good at confrontation , however . but yeah , i 've already decided i do n't want to take care of the cat myself , so if he ca n't do it , then it should n't be here . i just think he 's kind of childish in the sense that he 'll assume he can do it just so he can have the cat in the beginning , but later on he will get lazy . yea it will be unfair for the cat too who may feel lonely and unloved . you should tell him to be more responsible before he can get a pet .
The roommate's irresponsibility and potential inability to properly care for a cat.
