Cats are the cleanest animals you can possibly have as pets. Except that they soil your house with pee and poop. I can always tell someone owns a cat immediately when I walk into their house. It smells like cat pee and poop. The owners have become accustomed to it and don't smell the stench.

Your reply; soon as you open the door, you can tell cat owners by the box stench

___________________________

THAT'S NOT TRUE. IF YOU SMELL A 'STENCH' IT IS BECAUSE THE CAT OWNER IS TOO LAZY TO KEEP THE BOX CLEAN. THERE ARE DEODORIZING LITTER ON THE MARKET, AND A BOX MUST BE SCOOPED DAILY. AT LEAST ONCE A MONTH, WASH THE BOX THROUGHLY WITH SOAP AND FINISH UP WITH CLOROX. RINSE THROUGHLY.

IF A CAT TAKES TO GOING OUTSIDE THE BOX, IT IS SICK. TAKE IT TO THE VET. THEY WILL ALSO 'HIDE' WHEN SICK.

WE HAVE FOUR INSIDERS, INCLUDING A BEAUTIFUL SILVER CHINCILLA PERSIAN AND A BENGAL. NOT A SINGLE PERSON WHO HAS EVER ENTERED OUR HOME HAS MENTIONED AN ODOR. THIS INCLUDES RELATIVES WHO WOULD BE HONEST- SOME WHO DISLIKE CATS. (SEE OUR COLLECTION ON MY BIO PAGE)

All this scooping and washing the box seems like too much trouble, but is it when you consider walking a dog numerous times in sub-zero and the struggle to give it a bath?

Cats don't need walking, and you can leave them alone and go away for several days and they're fine. They don't need bathing. They bathe themselves.

Don't get me wrong. I dearly love dogs. We have a wonderful Yorkie and a Lab. It just irks me that every time someone mentions a cat in a post, all the 'cat haters; (who have probably never really come to know a cat), start with the nasty remarks.

They're wonderful, loving, amusing, intelligent animals.

Bye bye. Have a nice evening

And by the way, cats are now the most popular pet in the U.S BY FAR.

AND A BOX MUST BE SCOOPED DAILY.

Dogs pee and poop outside and don't require us to clean up their fecal matter.

Seriously, you enjoy cleaning up after your filthy beast?
