I’m not saying I agree with them, but I think they’re saying that for this particular symptom to manifest, the problem has existed, unchecked, for quite a while, and that’s why their cat owner/parenting skills might be questionable.
I can only really speak with any confidence on the parenting side of things, and I can tell you that peeing on the ground is a perfectly normal occurrence for a kid who’s undergoing potty training. As for cats, what I’ve gathered through osmosis from other cat owners is that the moment something happens to their litter box, they’ll stop using it. There’s probably other problems that would have earlier warning signs, but I would expect many to have no earlier signs than peeing in random places.
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.
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”.
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.
The urinating is not a problem, it’s a symptom.

That would be a fair point to make if it applied.

I guess you’re a bot or some sort of NPC. Farewell.
Isn’t that literally one of the things cats are known for?

Yes, that’s obviously exactly what I was saying. Maybe if you see so many oddities in social media, it is you, and not everyone else.
LMFAO, tell me you know nothing about cats without telling me.
