I have 4 cats. I love them very much.

They also produce more fur than there are grains of sand in this God forsaken earth. There’s fur in my clothes, food, mouse, ceiling fan, body crevices.

Help. Me.

    Are you implying having pets is negligent? I find that claim very funny.

    If your point is that fur contains bacteria, that’s true but not really - it’s absolutely not where you’d find most bacteria in an average household, and fur isn’t particularly easy to degrade either. As for viruses, that’s absolutely not the case.

    If your concern is with my animals, I don’t see how anything on my post implies I don’t take care of them. Their vet visits them once a month, they are fully vaccinated, they have nice litter and premium food. They are at a healthy weight, have plenty of toys, and a lot of vertical enhancement.

    And no, there are no young ones living with me. Though you’re incorrect, contact with animals is correlated with a decrease in respiratory allergies, not an increase. Their feces are however dangerous to infants.
