How so? If one was to actually spend time with their cat and find ways to entertain it, that wouldn't be a problem.

This is why you don't let your cat outside.

I'm sure you can find a solution to the fact that we have to leave the back door open so the dog can go for a shit.

I've had cats that have refused to go outside and some that practically live out there.I understand that some cats may have already been accustomed to being outdoors from previous owners, and there isn't anything you can do to change that. But for any kitten, you should make it accustomed to being an indoors cat.

He used to be able to wait until we got home before he went for a shit, but nowadays he just shits in the kitchen.

Some feel like they need a larger piece of territory for themselves and will want to go outside as a result.

put them down in problem areas
Quote from: Azumarill on July 13, 2016, 12:32:40 PMput them down in problem areas Which would be the kitchen. . . It's not exactly sanitary to have your dog shit in the kitchen, even if on a specially designed mat, nor is it easy to train him to shit somewhere else considering he has been going to the back door for his entire life. And we still seem to be ignoring the fact that indoor cats need a lot of activity, and simply cannot be left alone for hours on end, otherwise they develop psychological and behavioural issues as well as being at higher risk for obesity.I'm also given to understand that it's common in America to keep cats indoors; that's actually pretty rare across most of Europe. Frowned upon, even.
then keep the fucker out of the kitchen?
Yeah I don't get the problem with outdoors cats. They're a pretty common phenomenon around here. Keep rodents and rabbits and shit out of your gardens.
One of the cats got out a week ago (not Mordred, he's afraid of the outside). Stupid fucking squatter roommates left the back door open and Rambo got out to the backyard which is overgrown because the lawn people are fucking crooks. Took me a whole day to find him, he was stuck under the fence, couldn't even fucking see him because of all the fucking overgrown weeds. I don't mind the cats being outside, but not when the lawn people take our money and only do half their fucking job. That's the only reason I don't give them some time outdoors.
Maybe you've got a wanderer. Sometimes cats do that. Go away for weeks or months and then show up again.
BroJust mow your own fucking lawn
We don't have any lawn equipment nor do I have the money to go out and get any. It's much easier to pay someone 50 bucks every two weeks then save up 200 for the needed equipment. Quote from: DAS B00T x2 on July 13, 2016, 12:59:54 PMBroJust mow your own fucking lawn

It's easier to pay somebody to not do a job than save the money?
Kill your self faggot
200 bucks for lawn mowing equipment?All you need is a little gas and a lighter
One of my cats is missing
