OK, taking care of a friend's cat this weekend. Definitely convinced I should NOT have one of my own.
1. It threw up all over the place!!!
(friend warned me about this, it happens all the time)2. Litter box is way too much for me to deal with. Sounds wimpy, I know, but I just gag, can't help it.
When I was a kid, we had cats and a dog. The cats were indoor/outdoor, so most of the time, they did their thing behind the garage, which required no work from us(coincidentally, though, behind the garage was also where the pet cemetary was. Maybe they were drawn there by the gerbil and hamster graveyards?). In the really cold parts of winter, they did use the litter box in the basement, but I guess I didn't have a lot of the responsibility for it--I remember taking turns with my siblings, so it wasn't that frequent.
As for the dog, we'd walk him in some wooded areas, and besides, back then there were no pooper scooper laws.
