LOL! No cleaning and no insurance, cheap!

No offense guys but those sound like mental cats, ie., something was wrong there. That's like saying "I had a dog that attacked someone therefore all dogs are not to be trusted." Or me saying I'm not crazy about dogs because Pit Bulls are thought to be aggressive. The extrapolation is flawed. You had a bad experience, sure. That would probably taint a saint. But nevertheless it's wrong to think all animals are like that.

Ryan, if that company makes a dog model, then I've found *my* perfect dog.

I kept telling her that!!! Really mental!! They're gone now. I have a cat that lives in my yard, good enough for me. Or maybe it's a raccoon...hmm

All the cats we've ever owned (currently have 2) were so easy. Basically just HAVE a litter box and they figured out the rest. Some were kittens whe we got them and others were spca adoptees. Never heard of having to litter-train a cat...

We have a baby ourselves and luckily the cats love her. Very good cats and even tolerate rough petting/hair pulling while we try and train the baby.

Having a dayhome might help tho. The cats are around kids all day.

You guy's might want to try some kitty prozac for your psycho kitties. lol No, realy, they make the stuff, just tell your vet you need kitty prozac and they'll know what your talking about. I know people who it has made a huge improvement in their cats behavior, the difference between keeping the cat and getting rid of it.
An outdoor cat run can also go a long way for making kitty happy. If your not a handyman, they make some realy nice ones at www.thecatsden.net

I was thinking about building a cat run. Perhaps when the weather warms up a bit I will give it a shot.

- Nice to see someone from Pincher Creek on here I was born in Pincher and my dads family ranched in the pass before they moved into town.
