I’m not saying I agree with them, but I think they’re saying that for this particular symptom to manifest, the problem has existed, unchecked, for quite a while, and that’s why their cat owner/parenting skills might be questionable.
Only for people who clearly cannot be bothered to take proper care for a pet, which is a frightening amount. Most Americans also think the normal size / look of a cat is an obese one, and that healthy weighting cats are “too thin”.
See, this is why I love pizzacake threads. We’ve gone from “I don’t think this is very funny” to “if your cat pees you are a terrible person or maybe an American” in record time.
There’s a pretty good chunk of time when cleaning up your kid’s pee without losing your cool is all the situation calls for. Could be a baby who isn’t even aware they’re peeing but needs to air out their diaper area to prevent a rash. Or a toddler you’re attempting to potty train. One of the most common potty training methods involves them just being naked and you trying to get them to the potty whenever you notice them peeing until they get the idea. And you doing anything other than being chill about it is gonna cause anxiety around them learning this new skill.
One of the main reasons a cat might pee outside their litter box is a disrupted routine. I can’t imagine how that might happen if you have a newly mobile baby. Must be because this person is a bad parent and cat owner.

I mean, if you can’t even handle a cat, of course you’ll have trouble with a human child.
Sounds like they cleaned it up perfectly fine both times.
That is cool if you want to be a cleaning lady for some public toilets, but parenting is a bit more than that.
Yeah, parenting is a lot more than just cleaning up pee. No one said it wasn’t. It also includes cleaning up pee. I don’t see what you’re getting at.
Cats do not just pee in random areas for no reason. And them having a cat & kid do this very much indicates issues in regards to them.
Okay? So you handle the problem then. I don’t understand why you think that the existence of a problem means someone can’t handle it.
The urinating is not a problem, it’s a symptom.

I guess you’re a bot or some sort of NPC. Farewell.
Isn’t that literally one of the things cats are known for?

Yes, that’s obviously exactly what I was saying. Maybe if you see so many oddities in social media, it is you, and not everyone else.
