    Cat’s don’t belong outside unsupervised.

      I don’t understand why you’re being downoted. Didn’t even say cats don’t belong outdoors, just that they don’t belong outdoors unsupervised which a completely true take. For the record, I absolutely love cats which is why mine don’t go outside unsupervised. Two of mine have no interest in leaving the comfort of home (one does enjoy the balcony, on a harness for safety of course) and my third enjoys going out on his harness with me when the weather is nice (he has zero tolerance for snow though).

      All three are extremely affectionate, loving, and sociable and by all measures happy and content.

        Basically most people think it’s mean to keep them inside and refuse personal responsibility for what that cat gets up to when it kills local wildlife and ends up in the cat walk between my house half eaten with intestines strewn about by coyotes.

        Edit: but we’re international so I should consider locations where cats aren’t an invasive species.

        They are where I live, it’s illegal to let them out. Not enforced however.

          I’m glad that most don’t seem to think that way where I live, but yeah some do, despite all rescues, shelters, and vets being united on the message that cats shouldn’t be let out to free roam.

        I have adopted a feral cat. I’ve also worked with them in the past (adoption preparedness at a no-kill shelter). Bringing them indoors, getting them used to being on a lead and harness outdoors (or otherwise supervised and contained), is one of the kindest thing you can do for them. For the ones living in colonies outdoors and incapable of being re-domesticated (the ones you wouldn’t try to adopt in the first place), there’s a reason TNR - trap, neuter, return - is a thing.

        Cats started associating with us all those thousands of years ago precisely because, generally speaking, they enjoy the comparatively “easy life” of living with ammenities and low stress. Perhaps we should have never encouraged their domestication in the first place; I’d leave that discussion for another day. But we’re here now and we have a responsibility.

        If the feral cat cannot be socialized and kept in a safe environment where it cannot harm local wildlife populations then it should be euthanized. No amount of useless downvotes will change that fact, or my unwavering position on environmental protection and my pure disdain for people that think it’s okay for cat’s to roam free outside.

          I don’t live in a nature preserve. The local wildlife being affected are the rats that go through my neighbor’s unsealed trash. Cat loves being indoors during the day but will not tolerate it it at all at night. Not trying to sway your mind but maybe just pushing your buttons cause you seem like a bit of a fascist.

          I originally agreed with your first comment here (which you’ve changed) and I still do agree with the basic premise: that cats should not be allowed outdoors unsupervised.

          But tbh, now you’re just coming across as a bit of a dick who hates cats, which I don’t abide at all.

      I agree with the message of what you’re saying (see my other comments here) but the way you’re saying it sounds like animosity towards the cat themself, which isn’t really fair. The responsibility lies entirely with the humans.

        Galium aparine, with common names including cleavers, clivers, catchweed, robin-run-the-hedge, goosegrass, and sticky willy

        Those are some interesting names lol. We should start calling weed, “sticky willy”
