1 year agoNot really sure what the point of this post is honestly. Are you just venting? If you really feel this way about having to clean up after your cat, maybe having a cat just isn’t for you?
Pets are a responsibility, and there are aspects of that that suck, but we put up with it for the parts that are good. If you feel like it’s too much hassle that’s fine, but it means you shouldn’t own a cat since you’re not meeting its needs. Someone that felt it was too much of a hassle to walk their dog and clean up after it likewise shouldn’t own one.
Edit: Also if you do decide that owning a cat is too much for you PLEASE do not just dump it somewhere. Ideally you’d find a loving home to adopt it, but at least turn it over to an animal shelter.
You’re misunderstanding. Nobody enjoys cleaning cat litter, but it’s part of owning a cat. Whether you enjoy it or not, it’s something that needs to be done for the health of the animal, and all pets deserve to be healthy and well looked after.
My point is that if you feel that cleaning your cats litter is too much work to the point where you stop doing it, you shouldn’t keep the cat because that’s animal cruelty.
Generally the point of a post is either to inform, to request help, or to showcase something. E.G. the majority of the posts on here are just showing off pictures of cats that are cute or funny. I was confused about your post because it didn’t seem like you were asking for help, nor was there really information, it just seems like you’re complaining which is why I was asking if you were just venting. I suppose it’s fine if you were, but this also isn’t really the right venue for that exactly. Since I wasn’t sure of the intent of the post I was just pointing out that properly looking after your pets is something all pet owners are obligated to do, and those that are unwilling or incapable of doing so shouldn’t be pet owners both for their own well being and that of the pets.
