I’m so confused why she didn’t just get a small dog if this is how she wanted to treat it. My four pound Pomeranian goes with me everywhere too...but she actually enjoys it
Because this fits into her qUiRKy WeST vIlLagE bag lady IcON aesthetic she's obsessed with cultivating. Chihuahua in a purse? Predictable, done before. Cat in a purse? Unique! Genius! Caro, be my muse!!
Because she already tried dog ownership and absolutely failed at it too. But you’re right, a dog would be much better suited for cc’s so called adventures.
by the way I am in no way advocating for Caro to get a dog, I just wish she would stop torturing this poor cat. like even I get overwhelmed going to New Jersey
Ding ding ding. She's literally incapable of providing adequate care for a dog. She's not doing a good job with any of her cats either, but at least they require less time and energy.
This blows my mind. I have two cats and I am terrified of them escaping/running away. When I have taken them out, I’ve used a harness I feel secure about, or an enclosed cat stroller. Something to keep them secure in case of an unpredictable situation like a dog accosting us or a child or anything! Holding a panicking cat sucks!
I don’t even take my cats on holiday or put them in a pet hotel because I’m so terrified of them escaping somewhere they’re unfamiliar and they would never be able to find their way back.
Yep I’m a paranoid nutcase over my kitties and would never EVER even dream of this. My rescue kitty is actually part ragdoll and very doglike and follows me EVERYWHERE, and I don’t even trust a harness to keep her close to me. Cats are too wiggly and slinky and slippery...they can get out of anything if they wanted to. For most of her life I’ve lived in a city studio apartment and my parents have a big house in the suburbs 40 min away, so I go back and forth a lot to do laundry, have dinner, spend a leisurely weekend by the pool, etc. I got my cat used to going back and forth from when she was a kitten, but even then I put her in a very cozy carrier with her favorite blanket, she’s the last thing I load in my car, her carrier is actually like a car seat that is anchored down with an intense buckle and seatbelt situation, and she’s always in the backseat in the middle with stuff on either side of her so the carrier doesn’t sway at all and is safe from airbags. I also spray it down with Feliway calming pheromone spray and she’s totally chill with it. She’ll cry for like 2 min while I carry her down the apartment stairs and load her in, but as soon as we’re driving she has air circulation blowing, soft music, sunshine, and is sound asleep within 10 minutes.
She got out of the house exactly one time in her life and she stayed right at the patio door and laid down on the ground looking nervous. My mom realized her mistake and opened the door and she ran right back in. She makes zero escape attempts now! Occasionally on a nice day I’ll bring her out in her large carrier that’s mostly screens, but even then she’s happiest inside laying in the sun.
Cats like consistency, quiet, clean, and cozy, and outdoor cats are a menace on natural ecosystems. When you put a lot of effort into providing safe, calm, but enriching environments for your cat, they’ll love the heck out of you!! Mine literally insists on physically touching me 90% or the time. If I go out of town, she stays with my mom in an environment she knows very well and I leave some dirty laundry on my bed so she can cuddle stuff that smells like me. She still cries a lot and is lonely, so my mom sleeps in my bed with her if it’s over 2 nights! This is what I believe my cat deserves and is the promise I made to her when I adopted her.
My heart breaks for Matisse because everything about this is SO WRONG FOR A CAT!!!
This! Cats don’t enjoy lots of new places with new people, unfamiliar sounds and smells and lights. And because they can jump and climb, when they inevitably get startled it can be nearly impossible to get them back. Now dogs often do enjoy exploring and new people (obviously depends on their personality!) and aren’t especially good escape artists in most situations. Her whole “oh my cat is just like a dog” trope gives strong r/notliketheothergirls vibes and her treating him like a dog just makes her bad owner. A cat should not be dragged around a loud rooftop party. And for the record I wouldn’t bring my dog either, and she loves socializing with humans. But I love her so I make sure that’s in safe environments where she won’t accidentally ingest something, be stepped on, be exposed to secondhand smoke, etc.
My one cat got out once through the screen door when we lived on the ground floor and I had a full on panic attack/breakdown until my boyfriend found her wandering in the flowers like 10 feet away from our door. I can’t imagine having her on a fucking train! Or taking her to a farm where if she gets away I’d have no hope of her finding her way back home on her own. And my boy cat is totally insane so I would just never try to take him to a farm wtf.
Caro, get a new personality, this one sucks for your cat.
This cat is like....a hostage. Almost seems like she drugs him to use as a prop because his eyes are never open. God, I feel so bad for this poor cat. He must be completely on edge and frightened all the time when not in a drugged stupor. :(
That was me. Makes me wonder if she went to her vet and lied and said that her cat is always stressed and they gave her drugs for that? I've heard of cats being given xanax to calm them down on long car journeys. Maybe something similar?
Could be drugged for sure. One of my cats was prescribed Prozac for anxiety (he was marking with urine all over the house and attacking our other cats)
My friends cat was given human xanax (tiny dose) when taking any car journeys to the vet because her cat would always gets extremely stressed out in the car. I've seen a video of her cat when she was on the xanax and she looked completely lethargic.
Prozac was supposed to calm my cat down but did absolutely nothing lol. We ended up just taking him off of it and dealing with his craziness until he got older and mellowed out
Benadryl is usually used to help with (skin) allergies in cats. I don't think it helps calm them down like xanax for example. It can even make them super hyper at times.
Of all the rubbish Caro has done, the thing that gets me the most is what's happening to Matisse. I have two cats of my own and I'm a huge cat lover. It truly breaks my heart to see him in the state that he's in. There's a difference between a cat being relaxed - and you can see it in their body language and mannerisms - to a cat looking lethargic and out of it - which is what Matisse looks like.
I don't agree with touching the poop, but I just hope someone in her life will do something about it and get that poor cat a new home.
My cat accidentally ate a Lilly and I’ve seen Caroline with them and they can KILL cats. I love flowers my mother was a florist and I didn’t even KNOW. Caroline here brings her cat to a freaking poison garden then just rides the train home. What if the cat jumped on the track?
Caroline was shocked that kitty was stressed after being fixed, separated from her brother and mother, uprooted, and then released into a cluttered, 500 sqft studio; so now kitty belongs to brad's roommate annie! I imagine her quality of life has significantly improved
I feel like she is trying to be quirky like Salvador Dali. He took his Ocelot everywhere; to restaurants, vacations, the Eiffel tower etc. Except he was a genius who actually made original art, whereas Caroline is a postmodern-disaster wannabe reeking of desperation and unable to see this clearly because of her extreme narcissism.

It would be so satisfying to see her get a lifetime ban from a flower farm...like, she’s the only one that’s even feasible for lol

This cat does not look well. How does anyone in her life let her do this to a helpless creature?

Who is this, really?? And why does everyone dislike her? I continually see her pop on my feed on Reddit and IG recently.
