Here is what you should see:

She is annoying and costly.
Sometimes can be a pest, wants to be petted all the time.
Cleaning out the litter box and having hair everywhere!!!
She claws my couch. Throws up on the carpet and stinks up the house with smelly poopies in the liter box.
We aren't allowed to have one in our apartment!
He can make the place smell sometimes. Plus it took a while to train him to not jump on things or people. It is a major responsibility to own a pet. You have to take care of them like they are your child and you can't slack off at all.
Not much, food is expensive.
The cat hair everywhere.
mischieveous, nosy, possesive, big baby, expensive
The kittty litter is nasty and a pain in the butt, but that s the only disadvantage of my kitty.
Two words: Litter box
My mom makes me clean up after her.
Cat hair everywhere! Even on my clean laundry!
Uh, I gotta get up and let him out sometimes. That's about it.
I got to clean up after it, get her out of the house in the morning, and she didn't play.
He scratches me. Sometimes he gets into things and hides; he's very mischievious.
I would be very sad if something happened to her.
Potty training has been a real pain and a hastle since he's an inside-only cat. And cat hair all over furniture and things.
