They don't stink at all. They groom themselves constantly and are very clean. That said, the whole litter box thing is a real pain and can really stink if not properly tended to. Mine go outside for that so no litter box here and no cat odors of any kind.

Cats should be kept indoors. They’re a nuisance to your neighbors and have driven many native species to extinction. Plus they get hit by cars. That’s why shelters make you (and we did too) sign something saying you’ll keep the cat indoors.

Its the circle of life. They are natural predators and it is more cruel to keep them locked up.

Do you go out to your neighbors’ yards and pick up all the cat sh*t your cat leaves behind? Because it’s happening, and one day I’m going to put it on your front porch in a flaming bag, you inconsiderate f—-

You don't know much about cats, or you are confusing them with dogs. You will never find the feces of my cats and especially not in my neighbor's yard. They do a great job of burying it.

DP. You don’t know much about reading through a thread before commenting. She said she found 17 piles of cat feces lying on top of her mulch and saw the cat in the act.

It wasn’t the cause of our divorce, but indicative of his passive aggressive and manipulative ways.

Why do some men hate cats so much?

I'm sorry preventing a cat from ever going out is cruel.

For values of "cruel" that include "enabling it to live three times longer"...

Often enough, the cats hate them first just for being a stranger. Heck, if the OP's fiance didn't dislike cats originally, he probably does now. It is common enough for cats to piss and shit on a guy's clothes after he moves in, which is guaranteed to endear them to the guy.

I've had cats that just did not like men, period, when they were just visiting for short periods. The same cat that would solicit affection from women would run and hide from men.

+100. And for values of “cruel” that condone the torture of native small animals and birds by a non-native cat that is fed at home.

Guess these many other lives aren’t worth that of a cat lady’s single cat.

I think some men are afraid of cats. They just say they hate them because they are too embarrassed to tell the truth. Like dogs, cats smell fear and react accordingly. I know men that love cats, hate cats, tolerate cats. My cat-tolerant partner met my cat on date 3 and it has been love ever since.

Especially since one of ours is basically a dog and not smart enough to stay away from the road? Thanks, I'll take the "deprived" but not flattened cat. He has a terrible life, what with the regular feeding, cat tree, fleece beds, plus the petting and the undivided attention of the kids any time he deigns to give them an audience. Please report us for animal cruelty ASAP.

I can't tell if it is one committed cat lady or a group of them who are getting triggered by anyone letting their cat out. It seems to bother them to no end.

If I want my kid to avoid any kind of risk in life I would never let her out of the House. I'm fairly sure that is a life not worth living.

Is your daughter a cat? No? So then she probably wouldn't be happy sleeping on the couch all day, like a cat would? Huh. It's almost like there are differences between humans and cats.

My mom had three outdoor cats: one run over, one killed by a dog, one disappeared and we never knew what happened. All under 10.

I had two indoor cats that died of old age at age 18 and 20. They got strokes, pets, and treats to the end.

When I get more cats, they will also be indoor cats.

Cats unlike dogs bury their sh*t. It generally doesn't require lifting especially if its in a yard.

You have some serious anger issues.

Wrong. My old neighbor let their cat out every afternoon. I found 17 (I counted) piles of cat sh*t in my mulch and landscaping. I began watching and saw the cat in the act. Please don’t deluded yourself with falsities that your precious Snowflake isn’t a complete nuisance. You would be angry too if your neighbor’s animal was actually sh*tting in your landscaping—that my husband and I work on ourselves—and these crazy cat psychos actually defend it. This is why no one marries cat ladies.

DP no one is defending cats who go into neighbor's yards but, there are plenty of sane cat owners who get married.

I’m one of them and I count at least 2 others.

Oh yay, another inane platitude from you. Tell us, do you have conversations with your DD about not playing in the street, fighting with the kid next door, or pooping in the neighbors’ gardens? And she understands you? None of this is true for your cat.

You’ve really stuck your head deep in the sand, haven’t you? You refuse to respond to any of the very real issues raised here, like the health issues (toxoplasmosis), the morality of letting your well-fed housecat torture 30+ animals per month, and the nuisance you’re inflicting on your neighbors like the pp who finds all the cat poop in her yard. Nor do you bother to tell us why you’re too lazy to provide indoor enrichment for your pet, or get a cat leash, fence, or catio. All we get from you are inane platitudes like this one.

PS. Like 15:25, I too have indoor cat.

Cat ladies and cat owners are not the same thing. Even Wikipedia has a say on this: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cat_lady

It looks like it’s the *cat ladies* who want their cats have unrestricted access to the outdoors and their neighbors’ flower beds. I own an indoor cat, but just the one, and I don’t hoard them. It’s the cat ladies who are claiming their cats’ supposed needs trump the rights of all other mammals, birds and humans in the neighborhood.

I have an indoor/outdoor cat. He is a happy camper.
