Following on from the puppy regret thread, anyone got cat regret?

i do sort of... i had 2 sistersm little black and white girls and they got on perfectly but it had always been my dream to have a ginger cat. when the girls were about 6, i was offered a ginger kittie which i immediately took. and for a while it was ok, 1 of the older cats got on really well with the ginger and the other one just minded her own business.

sadly one of the b/w ones passed, leaving the ginger and the aloof b/w and they hate each other. the ginger went missing before christmas, he was gone for 3 months and i genuinely thought that was it, and my little b/w lady was so happy and content.. until one day the ginger f**ker walked back in!

i love them both, but its hard and i do regret my decision to add the ginger cat to the family

We have a cat because my 18 year old son wanted one. After we months he went missing for 7 weeks. I seriously thought he was dead as I'd been to see a cat who was found dead the day after he went missing which looked like our cat but a fox must have took his head so I couldn't be sure. For those 7 weeks I deeply regretted getting a cat and felt we had let him down. Turns out he was in the woods less than half a mile away. He's not left the boundaries of our house and garden ever since! (August)

Cats are so much more independent and sasg to look after,no comparison between to 2,I've had dog regret,never cat.

I love our cats but do often regret getting them. Usually when I'm cleaning the litter tray!

Never!

I have multiple cats because of the men in my life. If it were up to me I wouldn't have any. Having taken then on, of course I do what's needed to take care of them.

I made dp start to shut them out of our bedroom at night, for starters. He was amazed to find that - surprise! - he slept a lot better without them on the bed.

I don't do treats or play for adult cats. I feed them and take them to the vet if absolutely necessary, and stroke them if required. I'm lucky I suppose that if they're driving me mad I can put them out or in a different room. I have to insure them because I'm surrounded by sentimental men who treat animals like children.

Set boundaries, I suppose is my advice.
