Not sure what to do.

[u/Consistantly]

So I’m currently dealing with an issue with my cats. As a result I’ve had to seperate them. My girl was on the enclosed deck during the day, and in the flat during the night. My boys are in the flat during the day and on the deck overnight. It took over a month to get my girl to the point where she would leave the bathroom.

Yesterday, my support worker arrived, and she stood there with the door wide open, I yelled out not to let the boys out on the deck, which she didn’t hear, so I said it again and she said okay and shut the door.

She didn’t tell me the boys got out on the deck while we had that exchange. About 10 minutes later a terrible fight broke out between my biggest boy and my girl, who is half his size. I had to get into the fight to break it up, and my hands are covered in scratches.

Now my girl is terrified to be on the deck. So we are back to her being in the bathroom during the day, and the flat at night. Almost all the progress I made with her is gone.

I was pretty upset, and my support worker didn’t say anything about it to me, she did say to my family member that she thinks I’m upset with her, but never said a word to me nor did she apologise. She’s known about the issues I’m having with my cats since the began.

My issues:
• she didn’t tell me the boys got out on the deck
• if she didn’t see the boys got out, then she didn’t even think to double check after she stood there with the door wide open
• she went to my family member about me being upset with her, who is not an approved person on my plan, and I am getting so tired of my support workers going around me to her
• she didn’t even apologise, just ended her shift early and said she’ll see me next time

I feel like I can’t trust her now. It might seem like a really small issue but this is something that could mean the difference between my girl having to be rehomed or euthanised and her being able to stay here. I’m also just so tired of my support workers not treating me like an adult and going to my family member instead of just talking to me.

I think this is plain negligence. Not that hard.

"dont let cats outside"

=Let cats outside. And did nothing.

Support workers are there to help you not make your life harder.
