You forgot one — clean out their litter box daily.

Every other day for ours, and they can just deal with it.

And clean up the occasional hairball spit-up/vomit.

I got pretty good at catching that stuff on the fly. I’d see the cat starting to heave and I’d bound across the room, cup my hand under her mouth...and catch that “stuff”. MUCH EASIER to dump the goo in the commode/wash my hands than it was to clean the carpet.
