Reddit has an uncanny knack for transforming the ordinary into extraordinary narratives, and this particular story is a prime example of comedic brilliance, especially if you’re familiar with Muffin the cat. In a gripping r/AmItheAsshole post, one user has shared a tale of roommate squabbles featuring a feline with a penchant for mischief.
Setting the Stage
The original poster (OP) resides with their roommate, Lily, and her charming yet chaotic cat, Muffin. This feline companion, who resembles a toddler on a wild sugar rush, has recently managed to sneak into OP’s room and wreak havoc on a meticulously crafted puzzle, chewing a piece for good measure. Classic Muffin antics, typical of cats everywhere.
Clearly, OP was less than thrilled by Muffin’s antics and established firm boundaries regarding the cat’s room access. Although Lily initially supported OP’s decision, her perspective quickly shifted. She claimed that Muffin, feeling remorseful, wanted to express an apology. Right, Lily. Just like my cats apologize each day—I see where you’re coming from.

In a hilarious turn of events, Lily left a note on OP’s desk that she claimed was from Muffin, stating, “I’m sowwy – Muffin, ” paired with a cat treat. This act certainly deserves a spot in the Hall of Fame for Best Passive-Aggressive Roommate Moves, don’t you think?
The Backlash
As expected, Reddit users have opinions on this cat-and-roommate saga. The consensus is clear: OP is not in the wrong; despite Muffin’s endearing charm, it doesn’t replace the puzzle or undo the mess made. The delightful what-ifs abound, with many suggesting OP respond in kind with a cheeky note from Muffin, saying something like, “Dear Wiwwy, Pwease don’t wite letters from me and say I’m sowwy for damaging [OP’s] pwoperty. I’m not sowwy beacuse I was just being cat.” (Reddit, we love your creativity.)

Other commenters humorously suggested that OP should maintain a grudge against Muffin perpetually. Picture the chaos! OP could draft a comical cease-and-desist letter or even a restraining order directed at the mischievous cat. The opportunities for humor are limitless. Personally, I vote for a playful reply to Lily from Muffin, expressing her unwavering commitment to her carefree spirit.
It’s essential to reflect on Lily’s role in this amusing drama. Although her commitment to Muffin’s so-called emotional healing is commendable, it borders on outlandish. Lily appears to genuinely believe that Muffin must “earn back trust.”But what would that even entail? Trust-building seminars? Intervention sessions? Training workshops at the local Petco?

Final Thoughts
Ultimately, this situation transcends trivial puzzles or faux apologies; it’s a testament to how pets—alongside the humans who cherish them—infuse our lives with delightful chaos and humor. Muffin, while mischievous, brings forth a wave of laughter that has captivated the internet. That’s precisely what we adore about our pets.
So, OP, if you’re reading this, know that your patience is commendable, and you certainly are NTA. Perhaps someday Muffin will genuinely “earn back your trust.”Until then, keep your door shut, safeguard your puzzles, and nurture that sense of humor. And if you choose to reply to Muffin? Please do share it with the Reddit community!
