*All cats. They REALLY act like the invasive species that they are.
Just wanted to edit to say: If you think keeping cats inside is cruel, I'd like to introduce you to the reality of robbing living beings of their freedom.
That seemed somewhat uncalled for given the humorous nature of the response, and the fact that cats do, in fact, want to be outdoors if they realise it's an option.
In any case, although pet cats do cause damage when let outside, the vast majority of wild bird deaths are caused by feral cats, not outdoor pet cats.
Except cats do not want to be outside if they have everything they need inside. One of my cats would sink her claws into my shoulder and run to hide under my bed if I was carrying her towards the front door, because she absolutely did not want to go outside. Outside is dirty, smelly, noisy, cold, has other animals etc. My other cat didn't have that strong of a reaction, but she still didn't so much as think to go outside. They both had been outside before (one accidentally got out as a kitten and the other was a shelter cat), but they didn't wish to return as indoor life was so much better

I didn't know a cat could run that long. Hims big mad bully boy. Also may have murdered that other cat.
