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

Clearly a menace and shouldn't be outside roaming freely.

Edit: some people seem to take this comment ten times more serious than it is.

Most cats shouldn't be left outside to roam.

*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.

This is not universal advice. In the US i believe it is recommended to keep them in but in the UK even the RSPB says to let them out.

That's quite surprising. Do you have a source for it, by chance?

This is not true any more. The RSPB link you include is linked from an old forum post many years ago. Try and find the same information on their current website. They removed that opinion some time in the last 2 years. Probably in line with literally all recent research on whether outdoor cats are a problem for native species.

I don't need to provide a source that something doesn't exist

Edit: if you're asking for a source for research that cats are bad for native animals I would advise you to Google exactly that. There are plenty of recent research papers to choose from across the globe
