We got a cat from Hades.
I am not even sure Satan himself would want this cat. We have had it a year, and tried to be patient with it, but it just cannot learn. It gets up on the counters, it gets into everything, and despite being litter box trained, in the last month, about once a week, it decides to go to the bathroom on the kids beds.
I do not like cats anyway, so I know what I would do with it, but with a wife and four daughters...you know how it is.
The cat is so stupid it even annoys the dog, and that dog has shown some real restraint. She has killed (2) coyote, and (2) fox in her career as a Livestock Guard Dog, so to just snarl and snap at a 4 pound cat is showing a lot of composure. We are at the point now where we no longer get after the dog for going after the cat.
Ourselves, we have a saying here: "If it is something bad, the cat did it", and that is pretty much the truth. From dishes being pushed to the floor, to plants plants pushed off window sills, to butter dishes being dislodged so she can lick the butter.
My wife...a cat lover...is starting to wonder if we should just put the cat down. We do not like to give away problem animals, and it seems silly to spend money on such a dumb cat.
Her only redeeming qualities are: she is an incredible mouser, and she is a very pretty cat. But when is enough, enough?
