it's like one of those "quirky" movies on IFC)
I'm a long time cat lover and current cat mother of Mr. Mickey. Bottom line
. If I had a neighbor like this one, who's able to come and go, but unable to clean her apartment or care for her cat, who's cost of feeding surely must be offset by neighbors, due to her constant need to unload cats and never clean up, I'd contact the animal control authorities. I'd also speak to a shelter. I might even have an intervention when Mary returned to face her with what she's done.
Regardless of age, freeloading people like that need to be confronted with the facts. I'd offer to help her clean her apartment, and if this steps over the line, then welcome it as the way to cut this nonsense altogether. It's bothering you. I'd just stop laying down and being the rug that gets walked on. You already cleaned one rug already, so time to say...
The end!
Best to your good heart, but you don't need this crap.
