“… the greatest detractor from high performance is fear: fear that you are not prepared, fear that you are in over your head, fear that you are not worthy, and ultimately, fear of failure. If you can eliminate that fear—not through arrogance or just wishing difficulties away, but through hard work and preparation—you will put yourself in an incredibly powerful position to take on the challenges you face" - Pete Carroll.
I have one cat and he has quite the personality........
when I get home from work he races to the front door to greet me and rolls around on his back in front of me till I pet him. He does the same with my husband he knows the sound of his truck and when he hears it coming down the road he runs to greet.
He loves to play, we play hide and go seek with him, he hides and we find him then we hide and he finds us........
at bedtime all I have to do is look at him and ask him if he is ready for bed he jumps up and starts down the hallway stops and looks back to make sure we are coming then darts down the hall to the bedroom and is laying in bed by the time we get there.
He will eat most human food, however he does have preferences. Such as eggs he likes them hard boiled or fried, but he does not like scrambled....I never realized cats had a preference for their eggs till I got this one.
oh and as far as my house stinking hmmm well let's just say we have a dog, a cat, and a hamster and everyone that has ever been to my house has been quite surprised that I had animals cause you certainly can't smell them here.

They also track litter kibbles all over the house. Little grains of litter covered in urine and fecal matter--strewn over the entirety of your house, getting stuck to the bottoms of your feet, tracked by everybody all over everything, the furniture, into bed. It's a health nightmare. Not to mention, their paws are covered in the stuff and it goes wherever they go, which is usually onto your fresh, clean laundry right out of the dryer. This is, of course, directly following their clawed assault on your furniture.

Think about it, other people's animals who use the bathroom out side, it dries up, blows around in the air, lands everywhere, you walk through unknowingly then track it into your house.

That's the purpose of a foyer or mudroom. That's also why the flooring in those rooms is usually wood or tile--it's easily cleaned. You take your shoes off there and put them neatly on a rack so that your house will be sanitary. If you must have shoes indoors, get some mocassins and only wear them inside.
