Lololololol
Eh, six isn't so many in a two story three bedroom house and I have all females who are fed right, the largest is maybe 13 lbs., most of them are around 9 lbs. at the most (so basically, altogether they aren't even as large as one average medium sized dog). Plus, they don't like each other very much, it's rare to have more than a couple in one room at any given time.holy shit@ 6 cats
My biggest complaint while I had my cats was how one minute they would be playing around in their liter box and the next prancing around my kitchen counter. I know they say they are clean but that just doesn't seem sanitary. I also HATED having to clean out the liter box every single god dammed day or else the house would smell. I can't even imagine how many times a day you're scooping liter. My cats destroyed twice the amount of stuff any puppy I've ever had. ANYTHING that was free standing in a horizontal position they would knock over and break, I couldn't open my windows because they would scale my screens and wind up tearing them. Despite having a spotless liter box they would still piss behind the furniture. It was impossible to trim their nails. They would get so angry they would shit all over me while tearing my arms to shreds. One of them clawed my 4 yr old daughter in the face causing her to bleed luckily not scarred. Both of these cats were rescues. The one that flawed my daughter I had put down and the other one ran away and eventually run over by a car. Maybe I just got a couple of bad cats but it was sure enough to not want to own another one.
Amazing story rob
Thanks bro!
I don't know how old your cats were, how much of a shit you gave about trying to teach them appropriate behavior, how much you perceived was inappropriate behavior vs. shit that pissed you off that was natural cat behavior ... and if you can't clip a cat's claws then you're probably not very cat savvy.
I have one litter pan per cat, the pans are scooped every other day. As for smelling like cats
People that own dogs you can smell "dog smell" in their house so it is what it is. As for scratching your kid, it happens. My kid got the shit scratched out of him when he mistreated a cat when he was little. He came crying to me, I asked him if he was doing something I'd told him not to, he said yes, I said then you rated the scratch, I told you not to do that. I grew up around horses and big dogs and the fact of life is combine kids and animals, you're going to see blood sooner or later -- farmers have known it for centuries. Part of the reason why our children grow up so inconsiderate anymore is because they aren't confronted by the brutal justice/reality check of nature daily.
Look, don't take what I'm saying as judging, because there is no way I'm capable of making a judgement based on the information provided, all I'm saying is its possible part of what pissed you off about your cats was them just being cats, the rest sounds like they might have been young, under-exercised, over exuberant and a little ignorant (as in you didn't give them ground rules, they were too young to learn the rules).
My cats don't climb the window screens, they do jump up on the counters but cats are VERTICAL creatures, it's their nature to seek height anytime. Frankly, I'm not all that hung up on dirt, I wipe a counter before I use it, problem solved. Yes, they knock shit over, which is why I don't have anything in a position they CAN knock over. I like my cats and could give a fuck how my house looks I've had cats grumble and growl at me when I'm trimming their claws, but not shit on me -- you must have been one pissed off motherfucker when you were handling that cat and it was freaked out, shitting is basically a fear response.
You had a negative experience but if that was the first time you owned cats it's not fair to go around telling everyone cats are assholes, that's all I'm saying.
