So you're gonna let your cat get run over by a car? Also, they're terrible ecologically; they'll murder anything they can get their paws on.

Lots of areas (more outside the US) are pretty safe traffic-wise as well.

And the local wildlife?

Not to mention the cats go and crap on other people's gardens and vegetable beds. Keep your goddamn fucking fleabitten shitting machine indoors.

Ayrt

Knowing dozens of cat owners, I don't know a single person who lost a cat to a car accident. The cats are cautious of the street and cars aren't going that fast and break when a cat is on the street (not full stop emergency breaking, but slowing down which gives the cat time to get off the street).

I live on the busiest street in my town and I see at least 3-4 cats roaming about anytime I leave the house, but I have yet to see a run over cat.

The wildlife thing is very true, but here it's seen as normal. Cats are predators, it's in their instincts to hunt. Stopping them from exercising those instincts is partly why indoor cat owners would be side eyed here.

It's different in cities, cats are mostly kept indoors there. But in towns like mine or villages? Cats are usually expected to be allowed to roam outside, if they aren't strictly outside cats to begin with.

Those poor cats.

Letting non-native, domesticated animals wreak havoc on the local ecosystem whilst also getting exposed to parasites, disease, predators, unkind or pragmatic humans, and the lure of the warm engine block is just the sign of a good pet owner. We’ll ignore the vast amount of data available from every continent where cats are commonly

Reading that people just let cats outdoors willy-nilly while my 16 yr old ragamuffin snores next to me is heartbreaking.

da

I expect you to get a lot of pushback on this, from people who don't want to accept that a cat is a hunter and the fact that humans exercising absolute power over every aspect of their animals' lives is not necessarily something animals want or percieve as a kindness.

Pet ownership in the west has become an out of control human power fantasy, IMO. But I agree with what you're doing and I think your cats are probably pretty happy, even if people who never let their animal set foot outside can't imagine that.

It's not about that. It's about the fact that for most of the planet domestic cats are an invasive species. They absolutely wreck the local ecosystem when left unsupervised. It's our responsibility as pet owners to limit the impact of our pet cats on the environment. If you find that cruel, don't have a pet cat.

That doesn't even get into the parasites and whatnot that I'm sure your cats just loooooove being infected with....
