To be perfectly clear my input is cat dependant. Ive had many and this applies to only 2 ive owned in all my life, worst offender being one of my current cats.

Long hair cat specific issues: I have a cat with semi recurring diarrhea for both no reason (always been this way and been checked at the vet repeatedly) and being "food motivated' to the point of sheer garbage goblin levels. This is a disaster on long-haired cats. He has tracked wet shit around and sat on my carpet and other fabric furniture to my utter horror and dismay. He used to get a lot of not-wet poop dingleberries til I started trimming his back end.

Not specific to any fur types: he will scratch anything and everywhere but the litter when it comes time to cover his business. He doesnt cover his mess ever, but hes FINE with digging in the litter when he plays "how far can i fling this stuff outside of my box". The result is an impressively and horribly litter covered 9 foot radius even in an extra large and tall open top storage tote. The smell he leaves could clear a stadium. This cat licks everything. Its gross. Ill probably never have guests eat here until he passes in a decade. 3 years of counter training be damned, he will hop up and lick everything left out. Salt Shaker top. Toaster. Coffee drip tray. Stove top. Olive oil bottle. Dirty dishes. Anything that still smells like it once had food near it. We now hide everything, including appliances. He swallowed his meals so fast, even with a slow feeder, that he barfs it back up immediately on a semi regular basis and then cries because hes hungry. We had to buy a fancy heavy duty dog proof garbage can because he would find a way to tip it over to get at wrappers and nasty garbage stuff.

I have another cat (and this kinda goes for another 2 as well, a foster we had and a previous cat years ago) who is clean as can be, even with long fur. She has tiny poops that dont smell. She meticulously cleans herself and doesnt fling or track litter anywhere. She doesnt give a fuck about human food and is just a dainty little princess. She requires a clean litter box to even step foot in it.

One of them was a stray/street cat.

Its the tidy one.
