Okay, here is the background info: I live in an apartment complex which is mostly college students. You can lease by the bedroom so that you are only resposable for yourself and not your roommate. Well, I have a two bedroom apartment but am only using one bedroom. However, I was using the extra bedroom for storage and stuff. They did tell me to take all the stuff out around Thanksgiving so that the corporate people could come in, however they said that after that, I could move it back in since they knew that people were using the extra bedrooms. This was in contrast to the note that was on the door that said they would change the locks on the door and to get my stuff out. I chose to believe the person that I talked to on the phone, that it was okay to use that extra room.
One time I came home and the door was locked, however I unlocked with the key I had made of my ex-roommates. Another time I came in and the door was closed but not locked. However, I chose not to make a big deal about it with the apartment people since I really wasn't sure if I was supposed to be using the room.
Now, this weekend I went away for about a day and a half to go to a funeral with my fiance. I left the cats lots of food and a clean litterbox that was located in said extra bedroom. I got home tonight and the door to the bedroom was closed. I open the door and Justin walks out! So Stormy had no litterbox and Justin had no food or water (that was in the living room). Stormy had pooped and peed on the bathroom floor.
I assume that they probably came into my apartment sometime on Saturday. I'm guessing that they did this since everyone else who lives here is a student and has gone on spring break as of Friday. BUT isn't this illegal to enter my apartment without asking permission and without prior notice?!
Part of the reason for me having two cats is so that they could keep each other company while I'm gone. And when I left they were separated from each other! Not only that, but one had no food/water and one had no litterbox! I just can't believe it. :evil: Thank goodness I was not gone any longer than I was. I don't understand how they could not have seen the litterbox in the room and realized that the door needed to stay open. I'm guessing Justin probably ran under the bed and they didn't realize he was in there when they closed the door.
I'm calling them tomorrow and asking if someone came in. However, my fiance thinks that the cats could have accidentally closed the door. But I've never seen them do that before so I really don't think that is the case. I just don't know how much to say because I'm afraid they won't let me use the other bedroom anymore (and I really need it and will need it even more when my fiance moves in). But obviously this is totally unacceptable and can't happen again. It's ridiculous that they can enter my apartment without asking or giving me notice.
The cats seem to be okay. Stormy's poop on the floor had a little blood on it and Justin's poop in the box looked loose and numerous. I'm guessing now that it was probably due to stress but I'll be watching them closely. Poor kitties.
There will be **** to pay tomorrow! :evil:
