The owner had depression and I cleaned her home for free

That poor cat. The litter box was really rough thank you for making a nicer environment for the kitty!

[u/Public-Platypus2995 → u/kinkadec]

Fixated on that litterbox and that poor cat. Almost glad to hear there’s no cat there.

[u/Shoddy_Nectarine_441 → u/Public-Platypus2995]

I fixated on the bunk beds

Meaning children involved, no sheets, next to a moldy wall, with no toys in sight. Thank you OP for doing this for them but damn, this is beyond depression

[u/chappychap1234 → u/Shoddy_Nectarine_441]

There's also some pretty obvious water damage on the walls. I'm hoping There's not mold but it's highly likely and those poor babies are breathing it in...

[u/RedBeans-n-Ricely → u/chappychap1234]

There’s definitely mold. I’m really worried about that.

[u/berlinmo → u/Shoddy_Nectarine_441]

My thoughts exactly. First I was like: damn, the poor cat. And then I saw the bunk bed. I suffer from depression too but if I were in a situation where others (especially minors) relied on me, I'd get help asap. This is a horrifying place to live in.

[u/applesores → u/Shoddy_Nectarine_441]

I agree. This is no condition for children to be living in. I know the mother has depression and I feel bad for her not angry really. She needs help and she’s clearly not getting it. Children should not be forced to live in those conditions. I really hope someone is doing something for her and she can get the help she needs.

[u/GlitterBitch99 → u/Shoddy_Nectarine_441]

this is child abuse

[u/SignatureDifficult24 → u/GlitterBitch99]

You got downvoted but I don’t understand why. Yes this is abuse. Kids don’t ask to be here. Making them live in a filthy, mold-infested home while you lay around and don’t get help is terrible. I know how awful depression is, but when you bring kids into the mix they come before whatever you’re dealing with.

[u/RedRubyLove → u/Shoddy_Nectarine_441]

There is no beyond depression this is just a form depression, just because this is a form depression unseen to you doesn't mean it's not depression.

happy cake day!

[u/Big_Collection3288 → u/kinkadec]

those poor children too - there is presence of children as well

[u/MangoMuncher88 → u/kinkadec]

Omg I was thinking the same thing. If owner can’t take care of herself and home how does she take care of the cat?!

[u/TheArmadilloAmarillo → u/MangoMuncher88]

While I do absolutely love cats, I have two, how is she taking care of the human children. Cats are much less demanding than that to care for and it was terribly neglected.

[u/Independent-Safety44 → u/kinkadec]

OP keeps saying “no cat”… so it was the humans using a tub of cat litter??

[u/Stupid_Flexy_Sanders → u/kinkadec]

Poor cat? There's a bunk bed and stuffed animals in there. Poor damn kids.

[u/kinkadec → u/Stupid_Flexy_Sanders]

I’ll be honest I didn’t get to picture 9/10 once I saw 7

[u/CleanwithBarbie → u/kinkadec]

No cat here

[u/jarstripe → u/CleanwithBarbie]

no cat? what do you mean no cat?

[u/kittycity1 → u/jarstripe]

There 💯 was a cat. ): I hope it just moved on to something better.

[u/kinkadec → u/jarstripe]

Yeah this is an interesting turn I didn’t expect

[u/kinkadec → u/CleanwithBarbie]

So there used to be a cat? I just see that litter box in pic 7

[u/-CheesyTaint- → u/kinkadec]

The homeowner shit into that bucket.

[u/kinkadec → u/[deleted]]

As someone who has owned multiple cats and litter boxes it’s a litter box. Google High Wall Litterbox and you’ll see a ton of options

[u/HoodGyno → u/kinkadec]

i currently have 4 cats and 2 of 4 of the litterboxes are high walled. that is a plastic bucket. furthermore, theres not even cat litter in there.

[u/curtcolt95 → u/kinkadec]

all the examples I see online have a lower part for the cat to easily get in. I'm pretty sure that's just a basket

[u/imisscrazylenny → u/curtcolt95]

There are top entry, high-walled litter boxes. I had to get one recently because my orange boy is obsessed with pawing the litter up over the lip of the box. Problem solved.

[u/PeaceCertain2929 → u/[deleted]]

It’s not a litter box, but it is a box filled with used cat litter.

[u/Independent-Safety44 → u/[deleted]]

No. It’s not cigarettes. Zoom in. It’s cat poop.

[u/PeaceCertain2929 → u/[deleted]]

I zoomed in. I see cat litter. You don’t need to have a cat to have old cat litter. Just watch any episode of hoarders lol

[u/Fluid-Rain3558 → u/CleanwithBarbie]

...are you lying, though?

[u/TheVog → u/kinkadec]

Cat? Poor kids...

[u/GoBravely → u/TheVog]

Both maybe??

[u/smileyface548 → u/kinkadec]

That entire room was the liter box. Look around.

[u/No_Window644 → u/kinkadec]

Ummm those poor children, as well, lol. I hope they're not living with this person and with another family member

[u/Spores_ → u/kinkadec]

That was her litter box I gather. Glad op helped her out!
