In my 75+ years having cats, the only time one did anything outside of the litter box was when he had a urinary tract infection. Indoor cats have way more pride than to soil the place where they live. Outdoors, a male cat will use whatever it takes to mark his territory.
Neighbor’s cat used an open window for access. When it came back in, guy would get up and close the window. One ‘special’ night, he got up and he stepped on something he thought was a sock. It wasn’t. The crushed mouse left a really bad stain on the wall-to-wall that was never completely eliminated.
People seem to have the wrong idea about cats. Yes, they are independent but if you care for them get to really know them they are just as loving as a dog just not as exuberant about it. Getting to know a cat is fascinating.
My almost 2 yr old kitty deposited a disemboweled ‘toy’ mouse in one of my slippers a few weeks ago. I was touched and honored by her generosity. When I get enough stuffing, I will repair it for her.

Proof of the old saying: ‘dogs have masters, cats have servants’ (or something like that)…

Better hide your shoes, Earl. Muffin doesn’t like you.

A cat is a creature that plays with mice and pretends they’re people.

Our first cat would never go near those things. We didn’t bother trying with the later cats.

If it wasn’t for cats, there would be no internet. Don’t mock your masters, Earl.

If Muffin does that, then she and her new playground would get moved to the barn.

Sounds like Fat Freddy’s cat (The Fabulous Furry Freak Brothers).
