1) You have a house that smells like a litterbox
2) You find it perfectly acceptable to have a cat kicking around its droppings inside a litterbox and then proceed to walk on your kitchen table and kitchen counters.
If your house smells like a litterbox it’s because you are too damned lazy to keep it clean and out of the general living area.
As for the paws, 40 years ago in my microbiologist days the studies done showed that only 35-40 % of people washed their hands after hitting the head. I’m guessing from what I see regularly in public restrooms that the percentage is higher today. That doesn’t even count the crotch scratchers and foot massagers out there.
My three cats are overall cleaner and better smelling than most people I know and they are indoor only cats.

Yes, much better to own a dog that eats its own turds and then licks your face.
