I know what you mean. We have a kitty that isn't doing so great at the box, and will probably have to replace the carpet eventually, but like you, NO WAY IN HELL, excuse my French, that I would pts. No way. There are always other options. That's just cruelty, laziness, self-centeredness, or whatever you want to call it. If you aren't going to stick it out with the animal until it's natural end, then don't get it in the first place! An animal is not some ornament to decorate your home or to entertain children. Animals come with responsibilities. Sorry about the rant...
