Yeah, he's like 17 and sometimes it just comes out while he's standing there looking at you, but he's such a beloved part of the family they just put up with it and keep a lot of paper towels handy. Other than that he's pretty healthy for such an old kitty, (but he's still king of the roost, their two big dogs are totally afraid of that old tom cat and give him a wide berth).
Somebody should tell your roommate just how dangerous piled up cat poo can be to people, especially women who might be preggers. Some people get severe allergies because of it, and there are also viruses in it that people can catch. I prefer my scaly critters, they're much cleaner and far less smelly, (usually). If I need some furry companionship I do it vicariously with other people's cats/dogs. I visit my friend's house and play with theirs; it's kind of like being a grandparent...all the fun and none of the cleaning up after......works for me.
