'Totally disrespectful': Internet rallies behind woman who was secretly filmed by friend while cat-sitting
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: The Internet is firmly on the side of a woman who revealed that her friend had been secretly filming her while she was cat sitting for him. The scenario was discussed by the orginal poster on Reddit's hugely popular 'Am I The A**hole' subreddit where it garnered 700 upvotes and 200 comments so far.
In a Reddit post titled, 'AITA for leaving my friend’s cat alone when I found out he was filming me?', a woman, 26 said that she had been cat-sitting for a male friend, 28 who was on vacation. She had been told not to open the windows to keep the cat from jumping out. She revealed, "He lives in an apartment so there’s obviously a rule about not opening the windows, however when I was cooking last night I set the fire alarm off. After I’d put the cat in a separate room and closed the door, I opened one window in the kitchen to clear some of the smoke out. I then closed it and went to let his cat out again."

'He has several nanny cameras rigged'
She further details the issue, writing, "About ten minutes later I look at my phone to a text message telling me to 'close his window now!' And a string of missed calls. I call him back assuming maybe his windows are sensored or something and explain that I’d put the cat in the other room. He says he knows, he watched me do it. I ask what he’s talking about and he says he has several nanny cameras rigged up for his cat when he’s at work. I ask why the f**k he didn’t tell me that and he said he didn’t think it mattered, he never really checks them. I yelled at him that I’d been walking around not totally dressed and asked if he’d been watching. He flat out denied that and said I was being ridiculous."
The woman claimed that she was "super annoyed" at that point and hung up the call. She said she "had been in his flat for about four days totally alone, so had been walking around in my underwear quite a lot, and the first day I took my bra off in the living room because it was uncomfortable. This is all stuff I’m wondering if he saw, or had access to."
She immediately grabbed her things, fed the cat and informed his friend that she was leaving and he could find someone else to take care of his cat. The friend was not happy to hear this. The woman stated, "He called me about a dozen times begging me to go back, and eventually had to get another friend to go in and look after his cat while he flew back from holiday. The men in our friend group are now annoyed at me (he was on a stag/ bachelor party), whereas the women are on my side."
'Tell the creep to p**s off forever'
About 200 users have commented on the post since it was posted a few hours ago, with the majority writing "NTA (Not the A**hole)" and supporting the woman's decision to leave. One user expressed their anger writing, "WTF? He 'never' checks them, yet notices the SECOND a window is open? I think tf not. Tell the creep to p**s off forever and all the guys defending his predatory bs can take a long walk off a short cliff. NTA. I would be calling cops. They're useless but having paperwork comes in handy if any of your topless video ends up online."
Another user echoed the sentiment and wrote, "NTA. I have a couple of cameras in my house to keep an eye on the cats when I'm away, and I would never have someone cat-sitting for me without telling them exactly where they are located. I would also be pretty creeped out and concerned that he was indeed watching you. I'm not sure how he could claim he never checks the cameras while literally confronting you over something he saw on the cameras." A Redditor recommended the woman to end her friendship with the friend, "NTA - your 'friend' was totally disrespectful towards you. He should have DEFINITELY tell you that he has cameras. I think you should end up this friendship for your own safety."
