I'm pretty sure the "peeing on everything just for the sake of it" part is basically exclusive to un-neutered male cats (they do it to mark territory, as cats are territorial animals)
properly litter-trained cats usually don't pee all over the place, except occasional "surprises"

(also yep, i used to let my cat just roam around every now and then and almost every time he brought me a dead mice as a "gift")

It is not. Unneutered and neutered female cats pee indoors in my experience, although both were adopted strays. Also they're extremely aggressive and territorial to other females, even after neutering.

Good to know. Sadly my mom is allergic so we won't be getting one, but yes, cats are wonderful.
