whiny babies say outdoor cats are making animals extinct but my take on it is if a bird is too dumb to not fly away from a cat then maybe they deserve to be extinct

I had a flying squirrel living in one of my birdhouses this year which was awesome, but no, some loving cat had to get involved and bite its head off and then get bored and just leave it there.

To be fair, flying squirrels get pretty boring once they have their heads bitten off.

Cat's like to poo in a box. My cat will sometimes come inside just to poo then go outside again.

That's its way of saying hi.

I had a cat that just got tired of burying his inside poos. He'd just drop one then walk away. Pungent little fuckers.

too dumb? cats are an invasive species. introduced by humans. existing animals need time to catch up with that poo poo. otherwise they get decimated and that ain't good for no ecosystem.



idgi. most ppl in these circles (like this forum) are cool about accepting science's role in global warming and renewable energy and other environmental concerns. but throw that all out the window once you mention pet cats, despite the fact that all the evidence says they are rly bad. it's weird/spooky.

Yeah but it could have at least had the common decency to eat it or fashion a little cat teepee out of the hide or something. Wasteful :(

Like either of those issues, or voting, or boycotting Walmart for example, individual behavior does not amount to anything.

If you don't want cats outside, get a law passed I guess.

for real imo realtalk you should have some reason other than "company" for owning a pet

They should have the option.

I think that's the message of this thread. Cat owners should enable their cats to learn and think for themselves and make their own choices.

If you are married, maybe with kids, and your life is p.much over anyway, then owning a pet that will mostly likely die if it's left alone for more than a day or two is a reasonable option.

If you are not living a lifestyle that keeps you bound to your home then you want a pet that is smart enough to know that if you leave out 7 bowls of food that poo poo's got to last him a week so he better not eat it all at once.

you're being neglectful if you purchase an animal without owning sufficient space for it to live in.

"meant to be outside" is a meaningless statement to cover up for your laziness.

yeah the only choice is let your pet out all day long with no fucks given or let your pet waste away indoors all day long with no stimulation

because you're such a lazy poo poo, those are the only choices you see

maybe don't buy animals
