I’m not saying I agree with them, but I think they’re saying that for this particular symptom to manifest, the problem has existed, unchecked, for quite a while, and that’s why their cat owner/parenting skills might be questionable.
I can only really speak with any confidence on the parenting side of things, and I can tell you that peeing on the ground is a perfectly normal occurrence for a kid who’s undergoing potty training. As for cats, what I’ve gathered through osmosis from other cat owners is that the moment something happens to their litter box, they’ll stop using it. There’s probably other problems that would have earlier warning signs, but I would expect many to have no earlier signs than peeing in random places.
See, this is why I love pizzacake threads. We’ve gone from “I don’t think this is very funny” to “if your cat pees you are a terrible person or maybe an American” in record time.
Yeah, parenting is a lot more than just cleaning up pee. No one said it wasn’t. It also includes cleaning up pee. I don’t see what you’re getting at.

Okay? So you handle the problem then. I don’t understand why you think that the existence of a problem means someone can’t handle it.

That would be a fair point to make if it applied.

Isn’t that literally one of the things cats are known for?
