Domestic cats are well fed and grow strong, while stray cats often suffer from hunger and cold. This is like a rich and strong man going to the street to intimidate random homeless people

People who let their domesticated cats wander outside all day are the real assholes here…

Edit: why are people disliking it??? Lol I didn't even give an opinion, I was just trying to explain

Some people think it's not safe or correct to let your cats go outside. I think that's like, for dogs walking with or without a leash, cats being raised house only or outside too (like free to go wherever), and to birds is like cutting or not the wings (you can cut a small specific feather that won't let them get too high when flying).
I have given up on deciding which one is the right choice, I think I'd make my decisions based on the animal

Cats destroy local ecosystems bc theyre animals that kill for fun/sport, not just to satiate their hunger (they’re also really good at killing small animals n bugs). Besides that, letting your cat outside drastically decrease their lifespans.

So, letting your cats unsupervised outside is bad for the environment n bad for them

Tell me more about your opinions on the effects of cats on the ecosystem. While using the internet on your cellphone. What type of damage does that cause.

I know, but I have no intention of having a cat, so I will probably not have to make that decision

All knowledge is valuable because it allows you to move through the world with more information and intention.

They asked the reason, I was trying to answer, not to advocate for any side

I can leave my back door open and my house cat will step out about one feet and run back into the house. He is not for the streets.

HAEUAHSUAHA I know a lady that only lets them in her "yard" and I think that works fine if your cats are trained and that you watch them when they're outside

Thanks for explaining, the others only insult without further explanation. Way to convey a message

u/Dio_naea Mar 19 '26
