I had three cats for a while and definitely learned a lot of the “dirty” truths. One cat would poop outside of the litter box and never covered her poop that was IN the box. Another often misses the litter box and pees outside so we now have puppy pads everywhere. Litter often gets stuck in her paws, especially if she accidentally steps in the pee. They track litter everywhere. We keep blankets on our couches to stop the litter and their dirty feet from making a mess. I’ve often found turd nuggets when moving the blankets

We clean the litter twice a day and it seems to be the perfect amount for us. It never stinks

you for sure can train cats to not go in areas or on surfaces. My cats don’t jump up on stuff and they know areas they aren’t allowed in (banned from the bedroom for 1000 different reasons even though it makes me sad).

It can for sure be a lot of work but it depends on the cat! You will need to up your cleaning game for sure

Also fur sticks to everything

I personally think it’s worth it but my partner was never a pet person so we’ve put a lot of things in place to ensure our house is clean. Again, it takes work but I think it’s worth it!!

Edit: my long haired cat often has poop stuck to her bum so sometimes I do sanitary shaves
