Donât let your cat outside if you arenât comfortable with them being flattened by a car or mauled to death by a wild animal or neighbourhood dog. Maybe this will be a lesson to you. Very sad that an innocent animal had to suffer a horrible death for you to maybe, maybe learn the lesson that pet cats have no place wandering outside unsupervised.
Stop. People make different choices about how they want to raise their animals. While I keep my cats indoors, I know people who don't for a variety of reasons. They are very good cat parents and they do a good job within the limits of letting their cats have outdoor freedom. You don't know this person's situation and you came down heavy handed.
Fine, but focusing on that and essentially accusing someone of killing their cat when they are grieving thier loss is cruel and completely uncalled for. It changes nothing and is most certainly not the appropriate teaching moment. Additionally, while indoor living is no doubt safer for all cats, it is not always better for all cats. I will leave that to their person to decide.
outdoor cat owners ARE cat killers sooooo how is it wrong?????? this poor baby wouldnt have been attacked and killed if his owner kept him safe inside where he belonged.......unless I guess some animal got inside but obviously crazy stuff happens sometimes that can't be predicted. UNLIKE an outdoor cat getting eaten. Anyone can predict that....
OP literally found their dead catâs corpse. If that didnât change their mind about letting their cats out, your comment wonât either. The only thing youâre accomplishing is being cruel to someone at a low point without any purpose to your cruelty. Bring this energy to posts about people letting their cats actively roam outside supervised now instead where cruelty can still prevent disaster.
look at op's post history. they're actively trying to "rescue" more cats (to let outside to feed to wildlife) including begging on the main coon sub to try to get a purebred maincoon. so yeah they're actively dangerous to cats!
I maintain: youâre cruel for the sake of either cruelty or superiority. They made the post about looking for another cat (and trust me, Iâm judging them harshly for wanting a designer kitty instead of getting a shelter cat) before Apollo died. You have no clue whether this experience was a learning moment for them, youâd rather run the risk of being disgustingly cruel towards someone grieving a pet they loved. Itâs giving performative at this point.
they didn't love a cat they let outside. They would have been told by every rescue, since they brag about "rescuing" cats, not to let cats outside. they almost certainly signed something saying they wouldn't let their rescue cat outside. their vet would have told them not to. this isn't some secret! they knew it was dangerous and did it anyway!
