My experiences with cats:
Several neighbors had cats, all roamed free. Spent many hours cleaning bird carcasses and shit from the backyard. Needed to check daily to ensure my dog didn't find said carcasses and choke on bones.
Roommate's adopted cats. Shit all over the house because owners never cleaned the boxes. The smell of ammonia is burned into the back of my nose. The cats loved me because I was always the one to eventually clean their boxes and feed them, but they disgusted me and I was out of that place ASAP.
Now as an adult I have a deep dislike of both cats and their owners. If you have an indoor cat, I wonder why you didn't choose a dog but respect your choice. If you have an outdoor cat, get fucked. Now when I see a cat waking along my fence I run outside screaming at it and fire airsoft pellets at the fence (to scare, never to actually shoot the cat).
I don't dislike cats because I can't control them, I dislike cats because their owners tend to be shitty and I'm left to deal with what I perceive as another person's problem.
Now I'll let the downvotes roll over me like the tide.
I have an indoor cat. I don't have a dog because I don't own a house.
That's why I got my cats neutered. Now I live in the country side with no neighbours, so having cats taking care of the mice and rats is a must!
Yeah this isn't true, this is standard BS repeated by people who don't have cats and know nothing about cats.
Cats have a hunting success rate of like 20% at best so no they don't litter the environment with carcasses, most interactions between cats and birds result in the bird flying off and the cat sitting there looking sort of stupid. Otherwise birds would have gone extinct long before humans developed language.
Most of my cats hated birds. they always scared them away, so they wouldn't alert the rats and pheasants they were hunting. They were rarely successful (about 3 or 4 rats in their resp. lifetime, no pheasants, that would have been wild.) For my well fed cats it seemed never about the kill, only hunting.
Well except when they brought me mice whenever I was on a diet, I think because I was malnourished. Helped me figure out the best vitamins tho.
That took a turn
Welcome to my mind. Thank you for your company. Tea is on the counter, please help yourself.
