People who don't take the time to know their cats write cats off as being jerks. They're pretty complicated and self reliant little buggers. Whereas dogs need to be walked and taken outside for potty and so-on; cats need play time every day but also their own space.
Yea cats are so easy. You just gota clean up their shit, feed em, pick any plants you own up off the floor every day, replace any breakables that you may have left sitting on a table, despose of the dead animals they gift to you, clean cat hair off everything or wallow in it, wake up in the middle of the night to witness is bolting in every direction around the house or incessantly meowing under your door for no reason, take it to the vet after it gets its own ass kicked by another cat..... its just so easy!
To clarify, I just meant that as two differentiating aspects of dogs and cats. If you're not ready to take care of your pet's needs then don't have a pet, dog or cat. Also, dogs definitely need playtime too. But dog play is different (in my experience) than cat play.
Well, you can get a 'cat toilet'. A lot of them are pretty terrible, but once you get around the mid-range price of 300-400, they mostly have all the kinks worked out, and you can install it to connect to sewage like a normal toilet.
The one downside is that pretty much all of them use plastic beads as the litter, and sanitize with heat. This means if anything malfuctions, then you get the smell of burning fecla matter and plastic.
My second marriage was ultimately dissolved due to my ex's inability to care for a cat. I very much considered it a test of how she would do with children, and as anyone who sets up a test knows, the other party will invariably fail. The divorce was messy, but I dodged a serious bullet by seeing how I had married someone with an aversion to responsibility and a tendency to abuse or neglect animals. No babies for her.

They poo outside and cuddle with you when they sleep.
i guess you built an outhouse for yourself?
Cats would be like you just letting it build up in a box in the corner of the bathroom for a few days...

That's why many seem to go with those automated ones it would appear.
