Few people agree with me, but I think cats are a bizarre choice of pet. They defecate, scratch in their litter box, then jump up on your counter top or onto your pillow.
If they weren't socially accepted as pets, I don't think there would be much tolerance for this. Imagine instead of a cat, it was an possum that pooped in its litter box, then hopped up on your counter.
One could make a similar argument about cleanliness with any pet (or even a child; remember, at least the cat isn't shitting on you). Its not the point. Pets are not for rationalism. They fulfill something else entirely. If we were being rational we would all live in small rectangular apartments that are painted the same color. We're not rational, and we're all the better for it.

I couldn't agree more. Such a bizarre pet to have. Like I'm actually allergic to cats. So is my wife, so we've got that going for us. But why would you want an animal that poops in your house and then treads all over your home? What is also strange are the people that put down those "puppy pads" and allow their dogs to poop/pee in the house on pads. -So weird.
