+100)) There are 4 cats in my house, one for each family member)) We are a typical cat family)) Cats can be brought up and trained just like dogs, you just need a little more patience. Our pets are perfectly able to behave when guests do not sharpen their claws on furniture and know where their toilet is. The only problem is walking. There are quite a few dogs in Newport and often they walk without an owner. I am afraid to let my cats go outside freely. I thought for a long time and found a compromise. I bought a stroller like this - https://thepetsmaster.com/best-cat-stroller/  This allows me to take my cats for a walk without fear for their safety. Our neighbors were surprised and often smiled when they saw me with such a stroller but then everyone got used to it)
