Kind of long. My soon to be wife moved in about 4 months ago, and had a little friend in the form of a 22 pound cat. I wasn't all that happy about the potential hair everywhere, or the talons of theirs tearing my couches (leather), but I love her and only asked that she put those rubber coverings over the nails so they won't tear anything.
Now at first, the cat was so scared of me, it would just lay under the bed all day, only sprint to take a crap or piss (litter box is in the bathroom, I'll get to that later). So I think that this isn't so bad. So a month passes by, and the cat feels more comfortable and starts to roam around the condo a little more, knowing I'm watching her every move. That same night my living hell begins.
Around 2 am we're dead asleep and I feel this weight hit my legs and see a fluffy white and black poof at my legs. Alarmed, I kick my legs up, hear a "wraaaargh", and quickly realized that the cat wanted to sleep on the bed. Cat runs under the bed in fear, and I don't see it for another couple of days. But, the cat continued this for at least a month. I would throw it off, and it continued to jump on the bed. After this month of my hell of lost sleep, the jumping ceases.
Now I'm thinking everything will be okay again. Not so. For the past 2 months every time I come home I see TONS of hair on my pillow. Some days I would catch the cat laying on the pillow staring at me, then sprinting. Other times I would catch it, and it would stare at me, almost taunting in a way. And, sometimes it would stay there staring at me, refusing to move even after I give it a few nudges. For 24 years I have had clear complexion, but now I had a few breakouts, so I needed a new game plan. I looked into the nasty smelling sprays, and sticky tapes since a newspaper scolding was out of the question. Found the sticky tape to be the best option. Now the cat stays at the far end of the bed. Better, but I still have to clean its 65,000 hairs that it leaves behind.
So now that mess has been somewhat taken care of, I still have the kitty litter issue. Every morning I take my ritual piss only to step on countless pebbles of urine and feces deposits. I made a makeshift screen to prevent flying pebbles since cats like to cover up their landmines. Cat ripped it out. I have found no solution to this matter.
What I seek is advice to limit these warranted complaints. I don't want the cats a-hole all over my clean bed. I don't want remants of piss and crap over my bed, sheets and pillow. I don't want to step in the litter which absorbs the above items. And I don't want to come home to watch the cat lick its vagina while on my bed. I can't kick the cat outside because it has scratched the hell out the front door (weird because I have those rubber things on its nails) while meowing constantly. It has never been outside and would probably be mauled by something larger and more swift than its fat @$$. All I have going for me is that once my fiancee is expecting, the cat must go. Other than that I have no option. Any advice to limit these few concerns?
