10 of the Most Difficult Aspects of Raising a Kitty Cat

Feline lovers came together to share their biggest cat-raising challenges. See what they had to say and if you agree.

1. Kittenhood

Kittens are a lot of work. They have tons of energy, wield sharp teeth, and leave no furniture unscathed with their little razor claws. 

2. Unpredictable Personalities

Each cat has a unique and often quirky personality; you never know what you’ll get. 

3. Knowing One Day They Will Die

The most challenging part about loving any pet is knowing they won’t be around forever.  

4. Dealing With Cat Puke

If you’ve ever owned a cat, you know they tend to puke every so often. From hairballs to upset bellies, kitties hork up gross stuff much more often than anyone likes. 

5. Senior Cat Care

If raising a kitten is tough, facing senior cat care is even tougher. One commenter says their cat is getting older and refuses to eat certain foods.

6. Keeping Energetic Cats Entertained

While some cats prefer to laze around all day, lying in the sun, many also enjoy regularly scheduled brisk exercise and playtime. 

8. Vet Care Is Expensive

Any pet owner can tell you that veterinary care is costly. Many cats have health issues that require semi-frequent vet visits and regular medication. 

9. So Much Shedding

Cats never stop shedding. Unless you have a hairless cat, you should expect to be covered in cat hair at all times unless you’re excellent with a lint roller.
