Averted disaster

I haven't seen my roommate's cat around since he left for Tennessee a couple days ago. I look around for her and wondered if she got trapped in my roommate's room with the door shut. Open the door and hear meowing. Good, I found her. Yeah, found her locked in a carrier. I let her out and she was hungry and then pooped in the litterbox. Messaged roommate stuck in Tennesse cause they ran out of money and need to earn some more to get back home. Sigh. He replied he put the cat in the carrier as punishment for eating out of my cat's food dish since cats are territory about their food bowls. Then he left with his friends and forgot about it. I messaged back that he needs to tell me when he does things like this so I can her out to eat and pee. I'm sure the cat bed in the carrier is soaked in urine. That poor cat.
