    Am I owning cats wrong? Cats are easy as fuck. You just take care of Vet/Food/Poop they do the rest

      Hell yeah cats are a piece of cake to look after. You can’t completely neglect them but they do largely take care of themselves.

        The hardest part about owning cats is when you put the complicated cat scratching post/bed thing together.

      Imho dogs are easier than cats. Cats vomit all over the place in weird spots so it’s a constant cleaning struggle. Dogs, once trained, are pretty straightforward

          Pretty normal for cats to cough up hairballs a couple times a month

            Depends on the breed. Multiple times a month is not usual for short-haired breeds

        Depends on the cat. We could probably leave our cat completely alone for two weeks straight if the food pail was left open, not that he’d be happy about it.
