It's not about the money. Really, it's not. I don't care about the money portion, and I would never deduct something like that from her pay. We were friends first, and I wish to remain so. I want to find a way to show/tell/teach her that the cat is hers to take care of, not mine. I would like a more subtle approach than stapling a note to it's forehead (or hers, for that matter)
Well, the stapled note was going to be my suggestion, but if you're too chicken................................
My gorgeous old moggy shit in the house the first day I brought him home as a little kitten. I put the shit in the kitty litter box and then stood him in there. He never shit in the house again. If you keep doing this, the cat might get the message.
If you've only had the cat a short time, or it isn't used to being around other cats, it might be stressed out of it's mind.
Maybe go halves in the costs? Failing that, start scooping up the shit with her clothes. See if that helps things along.

Good to see you, benji.
The easiest way, IMO, is to just be upfront with her about it. You've already spoken to her about her owning them, reiterate that, and tell her that you feel too much responsibility for the cats is falling into your lap.

You got the cat, she didn't. Neither of you are responsible pet owners. Bring the cat to the vet, pay for the treatment and ask the vet to find the cats new homes since neither of you will take care of them.
And then give her the cable bill to pay until the vet bill is paid back.
