Bad Mornings - Cat

I didn't realize cats outlived dogs by so many years. I thought the average lifespan was about 12-14 tbh.

Depends on the cat or the dog, your pedigree cat will live to be 12-14 as you said but your average moggy will have a much better life expectancy allthough late teens is still pretty good. Dogs are much the same, small dogs and mongrels in particular often live into their late teens.
 
ive got to bury my cat this morning, she had a stroke the other night, she was a 17 & a half. such a character, really really vocal, if you said her name that was it, she'd be yakking away at you & wouldn't shut up :p the house is way too quiet now without her. dreading trying to dig a grave, it's bloody freezing out there & the grounds like sodding concrete. can think of better ways to start the day.
 
I was woken at 5 am by my cat meowing for food... with a full plate from last night! I took a fork and moved it about and the silly ******* started eating.

Oh and he goes out to the toilet no matter the weather, but if its snowing or worse raining, he literally zooms to the bushes, does his business, and zooms back in before the kettle boils lol

So he's trained not to use a litter tray (which you didn't provide anyway), and you shut him a room all night with nowhere to go to the toilet, and yet you're bitching about the innevitable?

lol?

Where did I say I locked him in a room? He has full roam of the house at all time, day or night. There was no suggestion that I locked him in at all in my post, just said he decided to dump on my kitchen floor...

Oddly enough, this only works if there is someone available and awake to let the cat out. Obviously? Inevitable result tbh.

True, but he usually wakes me up if he needs to go out or, like many cats just wait until I wake up. I mean he comes in at say 10ish and is usually out of the door by 6am... so its not like im caging him up for 48 hours and forcing him to hang on.

Post should be carved on OP's headstone.

If I said that I actually shut him in a room, then id concur... but I didnt and dont, so you bandwagon jumped a bit too quick.

Thanks for the serious replies though :D
 
You should take hold of the cat, go over to the litter tray and have a poop in it, it's the only way it will learn. You also have the option of placing the cats head between your bottom and the tray.

So he had full roam of your house in which to take a dump, meaning the poor thing can't win as this thread would then be about a cat that took a dump in your living room.

Perhaps he was meowing but you didn't hear him this time? Maybe he had to go earlier in the night when you were deeply asleep?

I'd train it to use a litter tray then random dumpings wouldn't have happened.
 
Poor cat - he needs access to a toilet whether it's a way to get out on his own or a litter tray inside.

Sounds like you actually have a very considerate cat... kitchen floor much preferable to carpet for poo ... and weeing in the washing up bowl is about the best case scenario too! Anything that the wee could have soaked into would have caused you a nightmare in terms getting rid of the smell.
