I didn’t know if you had to walk around, say, Lego pieces or jacks in your office environment.

cat toys (and the awful surprise of kitty barf) are the biggest danger, honestly.

Eh, they’re all toys scattered by creatures smaller than ourselves whom we love very much.

yes – their placement is uncanny. the only thing worse than waking up suddenly in the middle of the night to shove a barfing cat off the bed is walking bleary-eyed through the house in the morning and stepping EXACTLY onto a cold pile of cat barf.

if i’m reading you right, our kitties are very good, and only go in their litter box. but yuck, i agree, that’s much worse.
well that settles it: until they know how to clean up cat barf, no robotic floor cleaners for us!

You got it right. Alas, older longhairs sometimes have things attached to their fur that fall off elsewhere. And of course Dyson used his pee pads, even for #2. Mostly. Despite all that, we miss him dearly!
Then there’s scooting. Ecch.
Maybe this should be in the pets thread.

yuck, i forgot about scooting! one of our previous kitties periodically needed her sacs “manually expressed” – when sitting at the vet, we always could hear her yowl from the back room when they did it. it must’ve always been a painful experience. : (
side note, i noticed on one visit that her file had a neon orange sticker on it that said “WILL BITE,” haha. when i saw it, i asked if i could have a couple for myself. “that’s my girl!” i told them.

Sona has to have her sacs expressed too, on occasion. She does NOT like it. But it’s better than them getting clogged, and then needing to be surgically removed (which can lead to even more litter box problems).
I’m glad humans (I assume) don’t have that problem.

Human anal sacs are quite capable of expressing themselves, they often have careers in politics.

Or in any other profession that requires them to be in the public eye.
