Cat chose me but my parents chose violence

Two weeks before finals, this teenage cat literally waltzed through my window and decided I'm its new human. Plot twist: I live with strict Asian parents who think cat hair is basically poison, and our landlord bans pets. I tried being the responsible one - fed it once, figured it would leave. NOPE. This little furball has been camping in our staircase for three days, meowing like it's auditioning for a soap opera. My dad threatens to 'kick it out' while my mom simultaneously asks if it needs a blanket (while running away when it gets close). The cat's clearly lost and used to indoor life, but I can't afford vet bills or proper supplies. My current plan: secret feeding schedule and pray someone posts a 'MISSING CAT' flyer before my parents actually lose it. Anyone else ever been chosen by a cat at the absolute worst timing possible? #Pets #Cats #CatProblems
