[quote=Anonymous]Our cats are from a breeder, which I have mixed feelings about but I will say they are trained very well, do not scratch inappropriately, and are very well behaved. I am not sure why cats would damage kitchen cabinets. One of my cats like to jump and "tag" things on door frames, much like my teen son likes to hit the top of every door frame he walks through, but there is no damage.

They have scratching posts and so many toys it sometimes looks like we have a toddler. We do have a light scratch "patina" on the leather sofa, not because they are using it to scratch, but because after they chase each other across it 20 times when their nails are getting longer they might nick it here and there. It's not cat-damage looking, it just looks like a leather sofa we actually use, uniformly.

Does it smell? Not really. We have one litter box per cat in a dedicated small room/long closet that vents outside. There is a long industrial runner rug leading to the boxes within the room, so they shed any litter remaining on their paws on the walk to exit the room through the cat door (it also has a motion-sensor light...if you know my husband, I have definitely outted myself here). The system works really well. We wipe the boxes down weekly and top off the litter and then fully clean, sterilize, and change litter boxes every other week.

Hair? Yeah. They are long haired cats. We vacuum a lot, have a lint roller or two in every room, and have fur scrapers for more stubborn rugs and bed spreads. This is just a regular chore in my house.

We are cat people. Most people don't even cut their cats nails or take the time to care for them properly (our cats are totally fine with this and one acts like it's a spa treatment to cut nails and get brushed, while the other needs a little more reassurance but is fine). [/quote]
