I'm curious about how households divy up the cat chores! Do you do everything or does your partner help out?
We have 3 cats and 2 of them are mine and one belongs to my bf. For us I do everything related to nutrition. I decide exactly what they'll be eating and I just tell my bf to pay me $XX amount per month. I do the shopping and ordering and make sure we're well stocked. I feed them twice a day on my own. I recently started making my own cat food and he helps me out when I need it. He of course feeds them when I'm traveling for work which is about 3-10 days every quarter. We have one litter robot and I do the quick cleaning for it every week and and complete cleaning every 6 months. My bf changes out the bag whenever it becomes full which is about twice a week. He's so good at it now and super quick while if I try to do it I fumble around with it for a bit. I'm also the one deciding when to put flea meds on them and making appointments for the vet. I take care of their general grooming needs as well.
I guess I do more in my relationship but I don't mind since he helps me out a little. Plus I have 2 cats while he just has 1. And I am quite particular about cat health and nutrition. He wasn't really a cat person before he met me but obviously he is now since he rescued his own cat.
