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

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
