I bought a cat condo for my roommate’s senior cat for Xmas 2025 .. I thought the condo would bring the cat some joy climbing onto it and hiding / sleeping within 4 of its spaces .. but the cat was too old despite my heartfelt gesture

it was never used and the cat recently passed

I asked my roommate months ago if I could sell it for $100 ( I paid $120 and assembled it ) .. my roommate said, “Of course! Get rid of it!”

today, my roommate told me a friend would buy it for $80 .. ummm, NO ! I’m selling it for $100 plus assembly, and never used ?!? and then the argument went around in circles for hours !

I bought this cat condo for $120 + taxes + delivery + 4 hours of assembly — never used, just sitting in my room since November 2025 ( 6 months ) ! the cat has recently passed and my roommate wants to sell it for $80 to a work colleague?

I paid for the damn cat condo / built it, and my roommate wants to pocket $80 ? AITAH or what ??

EDIT :: over 900 views ! somebody answer, please !

EDIT 2 :: I took care of the cat ..

I groomed the cat and bought the grooming kit ( I clipped its claws once a month ) .. I bathed the cat and bought the spray shampoo .. I brushed the cat every week .. I bought its toys and treats .. I waited all night until the cat came in safely for the night .. I bought the bowls and dishes .. I WASHED the bowls and dishes daily .. for TEN YEARS !!

the other roommate managed the litter box .. all my roommate did was feed it ..

and I bought this fucking condo too ! nothing petty about me for wanting to sell this brand new cat condo that’s been sitting in my room since Nov 2025 !

I spent over 4 hours on the phone today regarding bills .. I kept my roommate up to date with 3 texts from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. with just simple updates ..

my roommate got in at about 3:30 p.m. “ all in a tizzy “ .. THE $1k WITHDRAWAL FROM THE BANK MACHINE came with a text message from the bank ! Du-uh, I just helped to set up this bank account, it’s relatively new so the algorithms are not matured enough to understand its banking usage ! it’ll take at least 6 months to develop personal usage practices .. I settled this protection text with a “YES, it was me “ .. simple and easy, but it took an hour to get that far

I had suggested early this morning that I would make some nachos and set ingredients on the counter .. my roommate was gleeful and suggested some board games and cards as well .. great ! let’s aim for this !

BUT ROOMMATE #2 and took over the kitchen at 3 p.m. .. over 2 hours later, #2 is still making a single-pot soup for dinner ..… like, WOW !! it takes 10-20 minutes to make a single-pot dinner ..

whatever, definitely not making the nachos and just gathered my things to retire to my room .. upon this, my roommate asked me, “ What ? You’re not making nachos now ? What’s wrong with you ? “

and not once did my roommate ask me about my 3 texts this morning‘s updates ( setting up bills on the phone, $8 000 that stressed me out ) .. not one question after I calmed my roommate down, then my roommate had to return a call, then my roommate had to go outside, then my roommate had to go to the store, then my roommate opened up the bag of the cat’s ashes .. and kitchen occupied .. JUST, “ What ? You’re not making nachos now ? What’s wrong with you ? “ with surprise .. ?

all glee now out there that sucked up all my juice / energy .. I need to move ..
