          That is cool if you want to be a cleaning lady for some public toilets, but parenting is a bit more than that.

            Yeah, parenting is a lot more than just cleaning up pee. No one said it wasn’t. It also includes cleaning up pee. I don’t see what you’re getting at.

              Cats do not just pee in random areas for no reason. And them having a cat & kid do this very much indicates issues in regards to them.

                Okay? So you handle the problem then. I don’t understand why you think that the existence of a problem means someone can’t handle it.

                  Only for people who clearly cannot be bothered to take proper care for a pet, which is a frightening amount. Most Americans also think the normal size / look of a cat is an obese one, and that healthy weighting cats are “too thin”.

                    See, this is why I love pizzacake threads. We’ve gone from “I don’t think this is very funny” to “if your cat pees you are a terrible person or maybe an American” in record time.

                LMFAO, tell me you know nothing about cats without telling me.

                  I literally grew up with cats and have several decades of experiences, including their social related issues and organ related problems, all which can cause cats to urinate in places they shouldn’t & wouldn’t. You’re just playing Dunning-Kruger internet smartass to hand me some sort of “gotcha”.

            There’s a pretty good chunk of time when cleaning up your kid’s pee without losing your cool is all the situation calls for. Could be a baby who isn’t even aware they’re peeing but needs to air out their diaper area to prevent a rash. Or a toddler you’re attempting to potty train. One of the most common potty training methods involves them just being naked and you trying to get them to the potty whenever you notice them peeing until they get the idea. And you doing anything other than being chill about it is gonna cause anxiety around them learning this new skill.

                One of the main reasons a cat might pee outside their litter box is a disrupted routine. I can’t imagine how that might happen if you have a newly mobile baby. Must be because this person is a bad parent and cat owner.
