    You don’t need a cat box if you pour a uniform 3" layer of clumping cat litter over the whole floor. It would be a day at the beach except that the clay sticks to feet or socks.

    I bet above his bed he has a sign created from letters cut out of magazines that says, “Use the storage bin, or else”.

    Panel 3 defines cat people; yes, there is a problem – your house stinks! You’re inured to it so you don’t notice, but anyone who passes your threshold immediately and with doubt knows you have a cat.

    And for all of you who are right now reaching for the keyboard to tell me you have 30 cats and your house doesn’t stink, don’t bother; you’re who I’m talking about.

    Cat = stinking house, 100% without fail.

    You can bury your face in a cat’s fur and not smell a thing. Cats bathe themselves daily (it’s interesting to watch). They also eat grass to induce vomiting to get rid of intestinal fur balls caused by grooming. So, you have to be willing to clean it up unless your cat does it outdoors. Doesn’t have a bad odor. Cats love to cuddle with humans, and they will listen to you talk with intense eye contact, like they’re trying to decipher your babel. Cats don’t adore humans as gods. In fact, they consider humans as servants, especially for opening doors. A properly cared-for litter box won’t smell. When a cat poops, he covers the poop with litter. This is an inherited practice. Feral cats bury their urine and poop, to avoid leaving a trail for predators. In a house, they do the same in a litter box. If the box stinks, it’s not the cat’s fault, it’s your duty. You should use a litter rake to put the stogies in the toilet and flush, and put the clumped urine in a bag to toss out. Five minutes a day, at most. It takes way less time to clean a litter box than to bathe a dog. Cats don’t try to protect humans, like some breeds of dogs do. That’s not in the contract.
