I kicked out a worker/contractor at my house on Friday because they scared and chased my cat (in my cat's own fucking house) like some unruly five year old and laughed about it when I confronted them.

This is now an issue with the contractor to complete the work on time, citing my kicking them out on Friday as the cause.

If you have pets, YOU NEED TO PUT PROTECTIONS INTO THE CONTRACT.

No ambiguity. Respect my pets. I do not need to deal with psychological issues with my pets AFTER you leave.
