I may be opening a "can o worms" here, (or should I say blowing the lid off the litterbox? lol, ) but  to tell you the truth I don't care for cats in general. I have always loved all animals but I can't figure out why so many people let these dirty things roam their homes! If you own a cat feel free to defend your kitty here but honestly the problems I have with cats....

They use their litter box, walk in filth and THEN walk on the kitchen countertops. I know countless cat owners who've all denied it happens but just as soon as I am in their home it HAPPENS! YUCK! They also get into food on the kitchen counter and lick from your faucets!  Also they play with toothbrushes and other personal items we use on a daily basis. It is a know fact that cats DO carry harmful diseases.  If you are a cat owner, how do you avoid all this? Or do you think it is cute like some of the cat owners I know?
