How do you keep a house with pets in order?

deucher
We have an African Gray (parrot) and 3 cats, one that is super messy when eating. It is a lot of work to keep the house clean. Our parrot creates a lot of dust because of her feathers, so her room needs to be vacuumed and cage cleaned often. The cat litter boxes gets cleaned every day and we vacuum as well. Also, since cats like to walk everywhere, we have to clean surfaces constantly, otherwise there will be lots of paw prints everywhere!
 
The cats are doing sometimes by the fact of stress their dirt everywhere. You could make them a place to place their dirt and they does not. The solution is to keep them outside house and give them food and having a garden so they could do their needs there.
Of course, this is a good idea, because cats are predatory animals and they will never adapt to a full life at home like people, but not everyone has their own yard where a pet can live, and even if it is winter, cats are not very pleasant to live in.

It sounds very difficult because I can't imagine having 3 cats. Of course, I'm sure they bring you joy, but how long does it all take, because I only have one cat and a one-room apartment, so it won't take more than 5 minutes to vacuum the whole house, and up to 10 minutes to wash the litter box
 
I like animals but I do not like them to have as pets, they will create workloads for you as you need to clean them, groom them, etc. I have goldfish as a pet. I had to buy goldfish when my kid insisted. Since it stays in a glass bowl, it does not create mess in the house. All I have to do is, change water once a day and give him food.
It is possible and cool to have only a fish that does nothing bad in your house, but what is the point of it, because then you can neither pet it nor play with it, it is just like a statue, only moving
