Ah yes. The well known sanitary house cat. None of us have ever had our beloved pet pee in a toaster or our shoes or our beds and they certainly weren't doing so out of spite. We all know cats are level headed rational beings. Well tempered. Tolerant of affection. Perfect for therapy purposes.
I've grown up with cats, and had a full blown litter + mama totalling 7 at one point. Currently have three.
None of them across 40 years ever pissed in vengance. Had a couple of slow shutters dropping turds, had some battle buttsprays, dealt with UTIs, CKD and diabetes and never had a single one piss anywhere but the litter box.
I do not think the cat was the problem in your experience
I'm not the guy above but decent care is vital for cats. I have been on ekough house cats to immediately recognise when they have cats from the whiff at the door.
The number of people who don't keep the fcknig litter boxes clean is INSANE . I've literally had a mate tell me "you are the only people i know that have cats I can't smell"
It's called hygiene.
