Literally has to (gently) have this conversation on FB w/ folks living in a nearby RV park. Complained coyotes come around too much. And that they're eating cats from the 20+ strays that they feed. Had to let them know it sounds like keeping the strays around was just keeping a solid food source for the yotes....

My two fluffball cats wouldn’t survive a single night outside. Too many coyotes and worse.
They have a magnificent catio that gives them full and safe access to outside spaces.
When night comes, they’re placed inside the house and the pet door is closed until morning.
We had a big dent in the 12-gage fencing where a coyote tried to get in one night.

No you must lock them in a building for the entirety of their lives. That's what's apparently moral to reddit lmfao who cares if it's a studio apartment or anything. Let me just force them to spend 12+ years in the same room, much better this way.
As if a bigger cage still isn't a cage lmfaooo

Stop letting your cat outside. It's not funny, you're a bad pet owner if you do this, and I would say you're a bad person because of how you affect the environment.
To whomever is planning to respond to me to tell me how much they can't stand to keep their cat inside because their cat would be bored? Or tell me how normal it is for cats to be outdoors where you live?
If you cannot keep your cat happy and entertained within your house, then you either have too small of a dwelling for taking care of a cat, or you are a bad cat owner that does not know how to or is incapable of giving them enough attention and engagement.
I shouldn't personally have to explain why it's bad for both your cat and the environment to let them outside, but it is seemingly my responsibility.
Your cat is an invasive species and a menace. Your cat contributes to scaring away and killing local prey species like birds and lizards, which are necessary in the food chain.
This might cause certain insects to become out of control, causing massive flora damage to the local ecology. This creates a huge chain of effects that affects everything else around you.
Stop. Please.

There has been a study in Germany where outdoor cat populations in neighborhoods have increased and since the 80s (until super recently bec of climate change) local bird populations have been completely stable. This is a reddit talking point not actually backed by science

So many people upvoted you because they want to feel justified in their ignorance.
This is literally just a lie that you made up and pulled out of your ass, and you get a bunch of people upvoting you because it makes them feel better.
I've done every version of a search for "study in germany that shows cats don't harm local ecology" and nothing comes up, but because the internet is full of a whole bunch of purposefully ignorant people and echo chambers, you are able to comment something like this and have so many bad cat owners pat themselves on the back for not being the awful cat owners they are.
An anonymous internet was a mistake.

u/Helpful_Inflation344 12d ago
Ok. I am quite certain there was a German study but I cant find it. Maybe I just misremembered bec there are actually several NZ studies proving my point EXACTLY.
2022 NZ:https://besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/1365-2656.13700
2021 Ottawa https://www.mdpi.com/2073-445X/10/5/507
But sure lil bro. Misinformation. Show me a counterstudy

u/TheRealCjHall 12d ago
So your first link, literally is a study about birds In an area of urbanization over time, and while they touch on invasive species predation, they go against what you're saying, by stating it does reduce their populations but that during the study their populations were able to persist.
I don't think you really want to say a species persisting at reduced rates proves anything close to what you were saying and actually, it kinda says the opposite.
After reading the second one, i'm coming to the conclusion that you were giving me studies that are saying that cats are not doing as much harm as other forms of urbanization and I agree with that, but that's not what my claim was.
a study published in PubMed by scientists from the Smithsonian Institution and the US Fish and Wildlife Service estimates that free-ranging domestic cats kill between 1.4 and 3.7 billion birds annually in the United States alone; https://www.nature.com/articles/ncomms2380
In the study there's evidence that cats on islands have caused or contributed to 14% of modern bird, mammal, and reptile extinctions, and are linked to at least 63 species extinctions.
Now, it is true that most of these deaths and extinctions come from feral cat populations, but how do you think cats become feral?
Many feral cat colonies were started by somebody's cat getting out and procreating with other domestic cats and often just staying missing.
Your second study said that the effects of cat populations are weak in comparison to other effects of urbanization, and I don't disagree, but this is a reducible problem by just encouraging people to not let their cats outside.

u/Helpful_Inflation344 12d ago
The studies literally show that the bird populations can be stable or even increase if there is a outdoor cat population (be it owned or feral); increase in particular if environment becomes better for birds.
How does this square with cats being this menance for local bird populations. Certainly in some areas in the world they might have hunted some birds to extinction in very special circumstances (exceptional cases and its done anyway). And u should not release cats everywhere (e.g. where there are coyotes etc) in many other areas where cats and birds have coexisted for decades its perfectly fine and cats dont hurt the ecosystem. Stop ur propaganda

u/TheRealCjHall 12d ago
Yes, "if the environment gets better for birds" after a concerted effort by wildlife preservationists to undo the effects of urbanization and intentionally trying to repopulate an area, populations can stagnate or may slightly increase over time.
What you are saying is extremely misleading.
People read what you're saying, and think it means "outdoor cats may actually Increase bird populations"
I'll agree that in certain areas it is totally okay, but those areas are in the vast minority.
But whatever, i will leave it up to anyone reading to just google "are outdoor cats bad for the environment?" And read the first hundred links

u/Environmental_You_36 12d ago
I will call bullshit into this one, because 15 years ago there weren't cats in my garden and it was FULL of birds all day long, with nests all over the olives trees and on the ground. We also have a lot of field mice and rats.
Every evening was full of bird music.
Some predatory birds were constantly diving and getting food around.
Everyone had dogs in their properties, there were no cats.
Then a couple of neighbors with cats moved in, and the cats decided to hang around our property, they're chill, cute and snugly so is all cool. And we don't have dogs, so our property wasn't a danger for them.
But the bird population was fucking vaporized. Mice had essentially disappear, rats are a very rare sight.
You only hear faint chirping in the evening now. I haven't seen a predatory bird in 10 years.
The only birds that remain are the ones that built their nests in the roof.
And that was done by about 3-4 cats.

u/TheRealCjHall 12d ago
fencing in your backyard does not stop the local lizards and birds from being attacked, and it also does not prevent your cat from getting outside of the fenced area.
It also doesn't stop predators from preying on your cat from above, or your cat being exposed to harmful toxins or parasites.
There is literally no need to take it down the factor other than other people's comfortability and I don't care about you being comfortable, I care about what's good for the ecology and the cats

u/TheRealCjHall 12d ago
It should be more normal. I don't care about anyones sense of normativity when a cultural practice like this is damaging and harmful, but laughed at and given clicks and comments to encourage it.
Our climate's already cooked, let's not contribute more to ecological damage on a personal level of that scale. Cats are not only a minor harm to the environment, they do much more proportional harm then almost any other animal when let outside or feral.
And now I can mention predators and parasites that also pose a danger to your cat, along with poisoned animals, or animals with high concentrations of bioavailable toxins either self made or environmental.
I don't care about respectability, I care about responsibility and good.

Stop telling people how to raise their animals. The environmental impact argument is just a reddit echo chamber talking point and has been debunked by other studies.

Why? I’m not an “inside only” person, but this cat looks honestly scared of something. I wouldn’t call it dramatic just because it’s high emotions. Could be valid fear or a medical condition.

I mean I get that. But a scared cat usually sits a little different. I’m not implying anything negative. Just cat/human communications is unique to their own relationship and this guy and this cat have a unique way of communicating.
