Of course I wear shoes in the house; I’d rather not walk in cat barf without shoes!

Nah, in the Netherlands I’d say 75% wears shoes indoor.
We don’t have much carpets though. With carpets I’d totally get it.

That’s why I said mostly. There are exceptions of course. I only tell people to keep their shoes on if the floor is too dirty and it wasn’t raining / snowing.

Italy too, pretty much everyone that is know wears shoes indoors.
Australia, it’s a bit more normal to ask if shoes should come off when visiting someone, as that might be their thing.
Not just america

Europe here. Taking shoes off at the door is cleanliness 101 in my house. Stops people from spreading all kind of dirt inside the house.
Then well, there is the matter of kids and pets. 1 kid, 1 cat here. This fundamentally changes how you need to clean the house.
