MOR, here's a newspaper article about someone like you who chose not to clean up the feces and urine from their more than 14 cats:
Couple living amid cat feces, trash appears in court
HILLSBORO, Ore. - A Washington County couple made their first court appearance Monday afternoon on felony mistreatment charges after they were found living in filthy conditions with their two children and more than 14 cats.
The trouble for Sean and Brenda Zachariasen, both 33, began Friday when deputies from the Washington County Sheriff's Office showed up at their door at the Meadow Park Apartments in Beaverton.
The deputies were checking on the welfare of the two girls in the home after a teacher at Meadow Park Middle School reported that one of them smelled like cat urine.
Once inside the apartment, the deputies were overwhelmed by the smell, the sheriff's office said. Cat feces and urine was found throughout the trash-filled apartment.
Deputies decided the conditions were uninhabitable and posed a serious health hazard to the family and their cats. The two girls, ages 11 and 13, were taken into protective custody and the cats were taken to an animal shelter.
One of the couple's next door neighbors did not want to appear on camera, but told KATU News off camera that she did notice a foul odor.
"It was like a dirty litter box," she said. "I'd be out here on my porch smoking a cigarette with my friends and they'd smell it and they'd say something."
"There was garbage piled high throughout the kitchen and at least one bedroom in the apartment," said Sgt. David Thompson with the Washington County Sheriff's Office. "It was pretty bad conditions. Most of the deputies said it was one of the worst they had seen."
KATU News has learned this is not the first time Sean and Brenda Zachariasen have had this kind of problem. An apartment complex took the couple to court in 2001 - evicting them for living in filthy conditions.
