They’re often up and about when you’re trying to rest, especially at night. This can mean a lot of disturbances while you’re trying to sleep – think cats playing tag in your hair or nibbling on your toes. Many cat owners never really get a peaceful night’s sleep and often find themselves being woken up by their feline friends.
Say goodbye to your freedom when you get a cat.
Your easygoing life will change as your days become filled with cat care. You might find yourself staying in more, even on days off, just to hang out with your kitty.
Travel and socializing take a back seat. If you’re someone who loves going out, think twice before getting a cat.
Sick cats are a heartache – and a wallet ache.
Sure, they bring joy and laughter, but when they fall ill, it’s tough. It’s not just the time and effort you put into caring for them; vet bills can be a hefty expense.
Regrettably, some folks get a cat without realizing this and either struggle financially or, worse, abandon their pet. So think hard before bringing a cat into your life.
Cat litter stinks.
They might use the same spot, but that doesn’t change the fact that you’ll have to deal with the smell of their waste indoors.
Every time your cat does its business, you’ll know it – and you’ll be the one cleaning up after it. If you can handle that, maybe you’re ready for a cat.
Cats won’t be with you forever.
Eventually, they’ll pass away, and that can be really hard to handle. It’s a sad part of cat ownership that everyone has to face.
So, if you do decide to get a cat, cherish every moment. Play with them, treat them, and make the most of your time together.
Cats shed a lot.
Twice a year, they’ll shed for about six months each time. Your home will likely be covered in cat hair – on the bed, the couch, your clothes… everywhere. If you’re not into constant cleaning or if you’re a bit of a neat freak, a cat might not be the best pet for you.
