    I can’t tell if I hate cats or love cats but they are never neutral. In fact there is a wild one in my house right now

    I don’t even know why is he in my house or how it happened but at this point I think we tolerate each other pretty good. He gets the hose sometimes, I get his piss hose on the floor sometimes. He gets the snacks, I get the purr and fluffiness. I guess I can live with this chaotic balance.

    I guess for someone who likes to control things cats could be a nightmare as they will never be some obedient pets but that may tell more about the owner than the cat.

    Kinda sucks that my floor and sofa is ruined tho, it’s like a mini tiger, wildlife in your house. I guess this is the pleasures of completely feral cats. It’s possible that with this experience I could take on some caracal or serval. Of course I am not crazy nor I approve to do this but I have a glimpse of what mindset and work it would take

    The Cat is also a menace that cannot stand sight of any other cat and goes straight for the throat. Little fluffy psycho, quite lovely

      Might be obvious, but have you ruled out infection? Sometimes cats pee in places they shouldn’t if they have a UTI.

      will never be some obedient pet

      I find it odd that people think that. Mine are all incredibly well-behaved. I mean, I invested time in training them but it wasn’t anything out of the ordinary. I think the secret is being consistent and correcting the behavior as it’s happening. They’re smart enough to know when they’re doing something wrong. Oh, they know! Lol

      I love cats, but I also love my plants, and despise the odor of a used litter box. Therefore, I cannot have cats. It sucks.

        So we got that expensive robot litter box and you can’t smell it unless you’re emptying it. It has made cat care so much easier.
