[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am a cat owner my whole life and a cat lover. I have three currently. OP should never have a pet and definitely sholdn't have pulled a bait and switch on her DH. That's despicable behavior.

However, having a cat is not nothing. Yes, it's definitely easier than having a dog. They are much more independent. BUT, they are hard on my carpet (bald spots from scratching, stains from puking). Some of it is my fault, not enough scratching posts some of it just having a cat. My furniture also took a hit. There is also cat hair everywhere. And if you have a cat who is not fully litter box trained or happy they will pee on stuff and that smell is HORRIBLE. They also climb on everything so people who think their cats aren't on counters are naive.

All of those things I'm perfectly willing to live with because I love cats. But I don't fault people who don't want to live with them. However, lying to your fiance is pretty horrible. OP didn't JUST change her mind. She knew all along.[/quote]

You are talking about having 3 cats - that's why there's hair everywhere. You need to vaccuum more often than if you just have 1. 
And the scratching - that stuff needs to stop pronto or else the claws get yanked. If they're puking, figure out why and adjust.
But when we get to the peeing on things, sorry but kitty is going to spca over that. The smell pervades your house and whatever they peed on needs to be thrown away. I've never caught any of our cats on a counter or dining room table.

I've had 4 cats during my marriage. And OP is TA in this situation.[/quote]

Please do not have any more cats if you plan to declaw them. It's absolutely despicable to do that to a cat. Also, any and every cat will puke at some point. There is nothing wrong. They groom themselves and need to expel the hairball. I also love how you think you can stop the puking but would send the cat to SPCA for peing on something. You're a horrible person and should never ever have a car or any pet.

And OP is also TA is this situation. but I think you might a bigger A.[/quote]
I've had lots of cars and they've lasted a long time. So have my cats, declawed ones and all.
You do you. I'll do me. [/quote]

No, you need to stop declawing cats. Or stop owning them. It's incredibly selfish and cruel. And I hope to god that if you declaw another one (lot of vets refuse to do this for a reason) that you NEVER EVER let the cat go outside. [/quote]
