Umm, female cats will spray as well. :biggrin:
I like cats, but the whole having-them-poop-in-your-house thing, and everything that entails, is a bit of a deal breaker for me. I would only have a cat if I could have their litter box in the garage, or if I had a large property and they could be indoor/outdoor cats.
When I grew up we always had indoor/outdoor cats so there was never a litter box.
An outdoor cat living more than 4-5 years is incredibly lucky. It's pretty hard to not notice when a cat has crapped in your yard though and it rots.
Also I have found most people with 'outdoor' cats majorly overestimate how long they really have had them. Even those that take their indoor pets to the vet each year usually don't know the exact 'age'. A 20 year old cat is also very rare.
All animals smell.
Most people leave the cat box inside the house, so you do the math on that.
All cats shed, so I'm guessing you're not the type who will get used to cat hair in and on everything you own.
Despite popular opinion, cats are filthy. They walk in their own shitbox and then on you and everything you own, like your kitchen counters. Have fun cleaning them, because a cat in a bathtub is a high speed laceration machine.
Someone in the family got the idea to start feeding the cats their daily canned food in their carriers. Unfortunately, they'd become suspicious if they got fed at an unusual time of day.My cat did once. I was trying to stuff her into her cat carrier in order to bring her to the vet to get spayed.
Cat scratches and bites have the potential to be nasty, especially scratches since cats bury their shit with their paws. Best thing to do is immediately was with soap and water and then put on something like Neosporin. I do that and have never had any infections.
Anybody said "NO" yet?
NO!!! Fuck those hairy ass pieces of shit...

I have certainly been scratched by them. The scratches would sometimes turn a little puffy and red, but it always went away within a few hours, though they'd always get a good covering of triple antibiotic ointment.
the way you get a cat in a carrier is you turn the carrier up so the door faces the sky. then yougrab the cat by the scruff of its neck and lower it back feet first into the carrier, and pushing on the head when the time comes

First you put on the armor of your god or, absent that, a heavy jacket, leather gloves, and eye protection. I had one cat manage to bite through a leather work glove though he didn't manage to break the skin. He's a special case though. He's a sweet, loving kitty until his feet leave the ground, then his brain spins around inside his skull and he becomes a feline chain saw.
Also, and this important, use a bath towel to catch the cat. Scoop it up in the towel and dump it in the carrier, towel and all.
You're a wuss. If you regularly pick up your cat and mush their face, you can do anything with them.
And when a pet's healthy life is at an end, only reasonable means should be used to prolong it. If you have to give a cat weekly injections so it can spend another year crapping on itself, well, you're not doing the animal any favors.

He's actually a very sweet kitty and he worships me. He's standing on the computer table next to me getting petted as a I type this. Just can't pick him up.
