No not at all. My house has been just fine. No smell and they are not destructive at all.

I work fulltime and own a cat, as long as I spend time with her when I get home she doesn't seem to show any signs of discontent.

I think cats are great.
I have a dog now but I actually prefer a cat (my cat passed away a few years back). Dogs are always in your shat! I can leave a room and go to the bathroom without the dog getting up and following me. I'll be right back!
Cats are a lot more independent. Give them food, water and a clean litter box and they'll be fine. I wouldn't want to leave my dog alone in the house overnight unless I wanted to buy new rugs. But the cat wouldn't have any problems.

8 hour days are ok. The only real problem is how much energy they have in the evening. If you can't play with them each evening sometimes they get a bit out of control.

Um, yeah, don't leave your cats alone for 10 days like the guy above, even if you have auto feeders and waterers. I don't know how many litterboxes he had, but I have 3 huge ones for 2 cats and after 3 days they are out of control.

4 cats don't cause any problems in the house? Must be lobotomized cats. Normal cats will knock everything off of every counter within 2 hours. Non butchered cats will scratch certain things you don't want them to every once in a while. Cat toys will be all over the house, especially under the refridgerator.

If you get a cat, @ least get an interesting one.

This guy, (when he's not holding his unfortunately for him empty scrotum) likes to jump on my shoulders when I least expect it.

I came home from work one night, wife & kids were visiting the inlaws, house was dark, & he jumped on my shoulder for the first time, I thought I was being attacked by aliens...

He's made it a daily routine now.

Our other cat, a devon rex, likes to sneak up on me from behind while I'm sitting & sniff my ears, that freaks me out too, just sitting alone in a quiet room & "snif snif sniff"

Wouldn't be so bad, but she seems to enjoy sniffing the male's rear, makes me more than a little concerned about what my ears smell like:eek:

Now dogs are always "down for whatever"

me: "hey boy wanna go outside and run through a flaming forest"
dog "Woof!!11!11" [at the door with leach in mouth]

me: "move cat ur sitting in my damn chair"
cat: "...."
g/f (outta nowhere): "Don't talk to my kitty like that"
me: (whispering): "ur going down cat...just wait"
cat: "...."

Another reason cats rule :p

Like in: meet the parents movie.

The quote about why he has a cat instead of a dog.

If anyone finds it post it just to show off why cats will take over the world someday :p

My g/f's cat is more of a roommate than a pet. Friggen free-loader if you ask me.....uh oh here she comes.... ALT-TAB

bwahahaha...made me smile, regardless of the headache I have :beer::D

That's what I'd recommend as well. If you are gone for long periods of time, a dog needs somewhere to go to the bathroom. Cats just go in the litter box. And cats are much more Snuggly than dogs. Plus you don't have to walk them or anything.

I have 3 cats and a dog and love them all

I had an F! and an STB and neither were declawed.

cats don't give a sh*t about u, so less attention required. a dog on the other hand is easily mentally abused.
