Girl leaves home to go to college, rich dad rents apartment for $1,500 to house cat
A recent piece of news in Silicon Valley in the United States has caused heated discussion. A rich dad, Troy, rented an apartment with a monthly rent of $1,500 for his daughter's two cats, Tina and Louis, as their exclusive world. It turns out that Troy's daughter is about to leave home to go to college, and the university dormitory does not allow her to bring her cats with her, so she has to leave the cats at home and let her father take care of them. However, the cats are extremely different from the dogs brought by Troy's girlfriend and cannot live in the same room. After being distressed, Troy had an idea and asked David, a friend who had an apartment for rent nearby, if he could rent it to house the cats. So Troy rented this approximately 12-square-foot apartment for a monthly rent of US$1,500 as a shelter for the two cats. Troy's move also unexpectedly triggered a heated discussion among the public about the gap between the rich and the poor in the San Francisco Bay Area.
Tina and Louis are the two cats that have recently caused a lot of discussion.
Because their owner left home to go to college, and they couldn’t get along with their father Troy’s girlfriend’s dog, Troy spent $1,500 per month renting this 12-square-meter apartment for them as their exclusive cat room.
The apartment is equipped with complete cat furniture, including a cat jumping platform, scratching post, bed, etc.; Troy will put food on them every day and take care of them.
The landlord David also expressed satisfaction with the two young tenants. "They are great, quiet and not noisy, and they don't cause any trouble to me; except that they sometimes make a mess at home, I have nothing to complain about."
After this anecdote spread, it unexpectedly sparked heated discussions among the public. Some people think that as long as they can afford it, renting a house for cats is a good way to house them; but others say that there are many people who are too poor to afford rent, but rich people rent houses for cats, which highlights the growing gap between rich and poor in the San Francisco Bay Area.
After learning that the cats seemed to be a topic of conversation, Troy's daughter Amy also told the media that she planned to move out of the dormitory and take the two cats into her care. "My father and I simply want to give the cats a good quality of life, because we love Tina and Louis very much. But of course we don't want to give people a bad impression. It is indeed a serious social problem that some people cannot afford to rent a house."
We hope that the two cats can rush back to live with Amy. After all, for cats, even if they live in a high-end house, it is still very lonely without their favorite owner~
