I laughed when I saw you wrote jerk!
They do jerk us around
Tikoy frustrates me when he seems to deliberately poo on the carpet, in that particular corner, just about a feet away from their litterbox. He uses the litterbox, but for some reason, I know when he is angry or upset, he will use that carpet area. I am not sure if he is just marking that spot to push away Smokey, or just being mischievous. I think that is the only thing irksome with them..ah yes...the usual litter scatter..but such is life with felines.
Tikoy is much more territorial than Smokey. Smokey is just the cuddliest one.
I did put some protection to some of my plants outdoors, just in case they think they will like to dig, So far they do not dig in any of my containers.
My Plumeria had this for cat protection, just in case...that area is their favorite path going in and out of my garden.
