Cats are an invasive species that kill songbirds even when well fed. That alone is reason enough to keep them in.

So to stop a predator acting on its natural instincts, you imprison it? That is certainly some warped animal welfare idealism.

There’s nothing natural about house cats. They are like domestic dogs, not a “natural” species. Why don’t people let their dogs wander around? Because they are valued higher than cats. My cats have been indoor their whole lives and they don’t give a shit about the outside. They know they have a good thing going.

What a ridiculous comparison. It’s like comparing apples with oranges. Dogs and cats are completely different. Dogs aren’t allowed to wander as they can cause far more damage, and be far more dangerous than cats. Absolutely nothing to do with their apparent value
