Cat custody battles in shared apartments create the most ridiculous domestic drama imaginable. Your roommate transforms into a feline kidnapper with the stealth skills of a Bond villain, except instead of stealing government secrets they’re hoarding your pet like a furry security blanket. They develop selective amnesia about basic cat needs, treating litter boxes and water bowls like optional accessories while creating accidental imprisonment scenarios that would make escape room designers jealous. The casual threats about future pet theft delivered with the nonchalance of discussing weekend plans adds a special layer of audacity that belongs in sitcom scripts.
