ours dips her paw in the snow and shakes it a few times and comes back in,
we've put a cat tray down by the back door because she won't go out for a pee.

Cat ownership helps children to learn responsibility and develop a greater capacity for empathy at an early age. In addition, pets provide unconditional love and acceptance, which can help children through difficult times.

Improved Immune Function
Cats also offer protection against certain physical conditions. If adopted before or shortly after a child is born, owning a cat reduces the risk of developing animal allergies, asthma, and possibly other illnesses as well. One study found that children living with pets were 13-18% less likely to miss school due to illness than children without pets. Researchers who measured the salivary immunologobulin levels of young pet owners found that their immune function was less likely to be in the sub-normal range than that of non-pet-owners. Additionally, cats can provide particular therapeutic benefits for children with conditions such as autism, especially those who suffer from motor coordination problems.

Physical and Mental Health Benefits
Pet ownership reduces the risk of many physical and mental health problems for adults as well. Stroking a cat reduces blood pressure, and cat owners tend to have lower triglycerides, which reduces their risk of developing and dying from cardiovascular disease.

Pet ownership has also been shown to boost the levels of mood-regulating neurotransmitters such as dopamine and serotonin. As such, pets can reduce feelings of loneliness, anxiety, depression, and other negative states.

Pets also reduce the likelihood of suffering from physical problems, which is evident in the fact that pet owners require fewer visits to the hospital on average. Studies conducted in Germany and Australia found that those with companion animals visited the hospital 15% less often than those without pets. In China, pet owners saw even greater benefits, with 20% fewer hospital visits.

I'm going to conduct my own survery and conclude that people who pee while standing on 1 leg while shouting "oooga boooga wooooga" are much less likely to get cancer.

cats actually go in the same place and bury it, so a responsible owner will train the cat and there'll be no problem with the neighbours. the problem is some people are irresponsible, but the cats are not the issue.

I'm looking after 2 cats at the moment. My own, and a sort of stray who looks identical to Cleo so I've named him Leo. Both are tabbys.

Cleo will not tolerate another cat in the house, so I'm having to keep the stray in the kitchen at nisht, and have put newspaper over the glass panel on the door so Cleo can't get wind of what's going on. I'm sure she knows though.
