My cats are cute furry snugglbunnies until I start seeing critters too close to the house or in cars. Then we go from cuddly bunnies to kitty finding himself drop kicked to the yard with an empty food bowl.
I don't have time for critter problems so I'm not going to mess around. When its clear and clean, we can be cuddly buddies again.
I find they get ineffective in service after their 10th birthday. I try to retire them to homes where they will be full time indoor cats after retirement.
Three times, I've had cats past 10 years and they are slow and they get pesky and whiney and the critters take advantage.
I have replaced and retired two, who are indoor cats now. The third one was too slow and got taken out by fox which was the eye opener of the ineffectiveness of old cats.
We are currently in a transition of training some new guys, because gritty kitty turns 10 next summer.
