Yes indeed. If you don't get, you never will.
Be careful what you wish for. The results will make it clear what they REALLY thought about you all those yearsMy cats are part of my final exit plan. When I die and the cats don't get fed on time, I figure nature will take it's course. Then all someone will have to do is come in to clean out the litter box. No undertaker required.
I was wondering how long it would take before someone came up with that. It's taken 187 posts. Caje gets official mention for "Admirable restraint."If you mean do I like *****, the answer is an emphatic yes
Seems like it'd be easier just to get rid of the cat........![]()
I have told the wife that if she ever brought a cat home that I would be moving out. Here is why.
When my Dad was in Vietnam, another serviceman down the street was also in Nam. The wife went to Hawaii for R&R with him, and had my grandmother, who was staying with us while my Dad was away, watch her children.
She agreed to do this before seeing the inside of the house. They had a number of cats, and their excrement (any other word will get me in trouble here) was everywhere. My grandmother had me help her clean up, and it was a nasty, stinking mess. I don't think any of those cats was litter trained, and they were all consigned by us to the garage.
Two days after the woman left, her youngest, 18 months old, became very sick. He soon ended up in the hospital, and even though my grandmother tried to get in contact with the family, she received no response. Even the Red Cross had trouble getting in touch with them.
The woman returned, one day after her child died in the hospital, probably from the foul conditions in that house. An investigation was made by the authorities, and fortunately my grandmother was quickly cleared, even though the woman had some explaining to do. She also refused to pay my grandmother what she had agreed to, but she just wanted to be done with that family.
Yes, it was probably a case of bad owners rather than bad cats, but something like that made an impression on my young teenage self. As a result, I have no use for cats, now more than 50 years on.
I went out on a call years ago to bid on a remodeling job. They had several cats using one or two litter boxes and the place reeked. I never called them with a price lol
I've had one cat at a time along with a dog most of my life. There was no reason for that stench other than neglectful owners.I keep a box handy,but my cats have always been and always be indoor/outdoor cats for that reason
My sincere condolencesI was till tonight at 8:45PM when I found my cat dead in the garage.
She was a wicked evil feral cat born on my patio back in 2006. I was the only person that could pet her. I think she jumped in my lap 3 times her adult life.

She made it to 15, which is pretty good. Had she shown any signs of illness?

Yep. Pretty much nailed it, I'd say. Although I like dogs, too, preferably larger ones, which reminded me of this New Yorker cartoon:A thorough study which I can't really argue against.
