It still smells.

I have the robot. I’ve tried all the different litters. It’s in a room with the door closed and I can still smell it when I walk by.

My wife doesn’t smell it though.

My theory is people that grew up with cats just don’t smell it anymore.

We had two cats as a kid. One was the devil incarnate (truly a BAD animal) and the other was a perfect little angel who everyone loved.

Interesting.

I didn't grow up with cats, and I don't smell the litter box unless the cat has just pooped and I smell the poop itself.

Our cat's litter box is in a really large, ventilated room and it gets cleaned 1-2x per day. I smelled it when we lived in our old house and the box was stored in a small room.

The only litter that I couldn’t really smell was the sawdust litter but it didn’t clump and it got everywhere.

As far as dogs, a well-trained dog is awesome. But i used to go i to people’s homes for my job and saw so many obese dogs that don’t listen, run up to you and jump on you. Scratch you with their muddy paws and get dog fur everywhere. And the house smelled like wet dog. And don’t get me started on the constant barking.

Mr Pepper above is an indoor cat that uses the doggie door and hangs out . Mr Charlie (below)is what could be described as a pure outdoor cat

My allergies freak out around cats.

Or else I could have one. Much prefer dogs though.

If you die in your house and no one checks on you, cats will eat your eye balls and most dogs will just starve.

If you were somewhere without food and your dog died, though, would you eat it if it were that or starve? If it were already dead i mean and you didn’t have to kill it.

They make great pets. Keeping mice away is a bonus.

We have 2 dogs and 3 cats. 2 orange boys and a calico. The 2 orange boys are fricking retarded in the best of ways.

One is huge, not fat (17 lbs), and dumb AF. The other one is the ring leader, thinks he is one of the dogs, hangs out with me, drinks beer. He is a baw. Even the dumb one is hilarious.

My dogs are loyal, loving members of the family. My cats are idiotic bursts of hilariousness. They are also oddly loyal to who they bond with, if we leave them for a night they act like a pissed of girlfriend for a day then they are so far up your arse you can't do anything without them there.

I’m both a cat and dog person. The right cat can be an arguably better companion than a dog, but cats are always hit or miss, whereas a dog has a much higher chance of being a good pet.

I have owned 5 cats in my life. One was cool as shite. The other 4 were the pure spawns of Satan. I have owned 7 dogs in my life. 1 sucked arse and I couldn’t wait for the little shite to die. There were 4 that were pretty good pets and 2 I loved damn near as much as my own children. Draw from that whatever conclusion you wish.

Well they are bird killers. I don’t have any cats but the neighbors do, and they are always hanging out by my bluebird houses. They wait for the fledglings to leave the nest. We find piles of feathers all the time. I like cats otherwise.

All litter smells. Anyone that says their litter doesn’t smell is lying. And it gets everywhere. Hair everywhere. They scratch all my furniture. They eat random shite then vomit everywhere. I hate these cats.


I got two at the house and when they drop a deuce you can smell it a mile away.

One is an albino cat with whitish fur and blood red eyes that I swear look like you are looking into the eyes of the devil.

The other is a giant fur ball that likes to leave hair balls all over and that is the most vile thing I have to pick up.

One of them blessed a brand new Lazy boy just a few hours after delivery, and a few times I found cat piss in my shoes especially if they are new.

One likes to lick himself profusely. He goes to town licking his privates with his leg straight up or legs spread eagle as though he is an Olympian.

Those are the negatives, but you do get a sense of companionship and sometimes they come to know you and want your affection. One will follow me around like a dog either for a treat or nice petting session. When it was colder, I had one coil up on my belly.

Cats start eating you while you’re still warm. It’s not really survival.

Cats are for women, dogs are for men.
