Are there smart cats?

You are judgmental 911Ricki. You don't read the entire discussion to know better. Let me reiterate to you. My parents initially forbidden me to have cats because we have children. 10 Months old and another who is 3 years old. The kitten that we adopted stayed with us for four months and we tried all efforts to teach it how to eliminate properly because we want to keep it. But after giving it some chance to learn, it is still not learning. The 3 year old was also very afraid of the kitten and cannot go out of her room anymore because she had a bad experienced with the cat scratching her. So my parents decided to give it to a neighbor whom we think would be able to take care of it. IS THAT CRUELTY? I think you are the cruel one.

And by the way... we have dogs, cats and fishes. So you see, we are really animal lover. I hope I made my point Mr. IRRESPONSIBLE. Sorry to say it but your response is really irresponsibly done.

I'm the cruel one, I end up with people's cats who are just like you. Take on the responsibility, then just toss it out because it's not working. You should of thought about the children before you got an animal. I see this at the shelter all the time, people abdonded and surrenering their animals because of a child, pure irresponsible. I am sure the child just sat there and the cat caame up and scratched it right?. Highly doubtful. I own several cats, rabbits, guinea pigs and hamster, who were surrender in similar situations, it all comes back to irresponsible pet owners, and not doing the research before getting an animal, it's so sad because in the end the animal suffers. Animal behaviour has a reason behind it, not because they are stupid. Just like you stated, just because it couldn't potty train properly it's stupid. Maybe, you are the stupid one. Animals are like little children who don't grow up. There is a reason behind this, maybe it had health issues and you dismisssed them, not enough attention, abuse or neglect from you and the children, the list could go on. I hoppe you never get an animal in the future I would feel so bad for it.

blue eyed white cats are often deaf http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deaf_white_cat the blue eyes are connected to white spotting, which you can't see because the cat is already white... I knew a blue eyed black and white cat, but since his ears were black, it didn't affect his hearing...

Wow! This is something! Thanks for the share.

I gave him potty training. I tried placing a tray with soil and sands on the area where he loves to eliminate but what he does is just do outside the potty. He's gone now. My parents gave it to our neighbor. He's pure white. I so like his eyes because it was blue. I'll get another cat someday when I have more time to pet it and cuddle it. Have a great day!

Hello bellis716. That's very informative. Thanks for sharing and the help. Best regards.

By money saved, I mean on litter of course.

Hello cupkitties. Thanks for your suggestion. I cats with thicker furs. I'll look around at the pet shop. Again, thanks.

Hello agmamayo. I can see that you are really fond of cats. Thanks for sharing your experience with them. Maybe, because I lack time to pet them, that's why it was really hard to train them and my parents doesn't have the patience to do so. Have a great day!!!

Hello Kayltjeee. You are right. I found that out as soon as I got this white cat. My brother discouraged me to take it initially but I did not listen to him. He noticed that the behavior of the cat was so restless. It would be much easier if I got a much younger kitten. Thanks for commenting here.

Hello mondaylover. Thanks for sympathizing with me. Right now, my job does not allow me to get a cat because I travel a lot. But when I have that opportunity I would buy one. Have a nice day!
