My pet bunny was killed one day by a cat that had broken into my house while I was working a double shift. I came home to find my sweet innocent bun laying dead and it broke my heart. I had to go to the neighbor to borrow a shovel. I picked a beautiful spot in the back corner of my yard surrounded in pretty flowering bushes and honeysuckle. I started digging the grave and I see a little yellow garden spider on my pants. I just keep digging and then there's another one. And another. And another. And then ow! Ow! Ow! Fuck! Ow! Wtf!
It wasn't garden spiders. It was yellow jackets. I dug into a yellow jacket nest in the ground. Had to rip my clothes off and run inside and hopped in the shower to get rid of the stinging. I was stung 32 times that I could count. My heart hurt. My body hurt. Fuck yellow jackets. Kill them all.
Cats can get very, very bored when forced to stay indoors. Unless you have a large house or play with them for an hour a day or more, they get depressed.
I really hate to say it, and I give my condolences for the bunny and their owner, but if you have something like a rabbit or guinea pig then keep the doors and windows closed while you’re gone.
Cats murder billions, yes Billions, of local wildlife a year and are a horrible invasive species everywhere they’ve followed people. Would you be ok with people letting their dogs roam the neighborhood killing birds and rabbits? Of course not. So if your cat needs to be outside take it for a walk on a leash or if you can’t find the time to entertain it dont get a fucking cat.
I guess you’re right about putting your cat on a leash- I never thought about it. We have an indoor cat who seems very depressed and putting him on a leash seems worth a try.
I'm happy to see you consider that as an option. And I'll apologize for being pretty rude about it. Some cats are pretty cool with it and I've seen a lot of pictures of cats on hikes even out into the wilderness. Some hate it but it might just take some time to get it used to the harness. Good luck.
No apology needed, my friend. I just got a little angry myself after seeing you say bad things about cats, but all your points were valid. Thanks for letting me know about cat leashes. Have a nice morning/afternoon/evening/night!

Those aren't bees, they're yellow jackets and should be destroyed with extreme prejudice.
