considering allowing indoor cats- Does clumping litter damage plumbing?

A cat is perfectly capable of giving a severe mauling. A cat can also cause a lawsuit with a bite or scratch, or by tripping someone so that they fall down, or by being the cause of a child to have to take a rabies shot series.

I can remember, several years back, a litigant receiving an enormous payment to compensate them for the mental suffering from a hamster bite.

There is no possible reason to believe that a cat is incapable of causing a lawsuit.

I use clumping litter and have never, ever flushed it. It's meant to be bagged and thrown out in the garbage. I'd make an addendum to the lease clearly stating that and making them fully responsible for any damages due to flushing it.

I haven't heard of a domestic cat killing a child.

Nor have I heard of a landlord being denied insurance because he/she allows cats, but apparently there's a fair number who can't get them if they allow certain breeds.
