Phone call this afternoon from a woman and her husband looking for two cats:

“We would like two cats, not kittens..”
“OK”
We want these cats to be indoor/outdoor cats..
“OK”
“We want these cats to be mousers”
“OK”
“We want two cats who don’t use litterboxes!”

Okay that stumped me. I very carefully told this woman that cats need to have litterboxes if they are inside/outside cats and that she can’t just put these cats outside tomorrow and expect them to stay on her property. Since she is about 45 minutes from my house, I suspect if she got one of my cats and popped it outside, it would just head back to my house where sanity reigns (sometimes).

She got a bit offended and said that her and her husband are older and they don’t want to mess with litterpans. I told her that if the cats don’t have a litterpan, they will find an alternate place to poop and pee and she might not like the end results. *G* I told her that putting cats into a new place and not providing them with a litter pan would be just like her and her husband building their dream home with every comfort but a bathroom. The bathroom would be across the road so if they had to go potty- they would have to go outside to do so. She then hung up on me and I hope she doesn’t call someone else and get these cats- they don’t sound like they would have a very good life.
