I found a cat leg the other day, victim to a coyote. But I guess the owners can be comforted that their kitty got fresh air.
But as a neighbour who deals with this issue and property damage from neighbours cats , if your pet becomes my pest i will deal with it as such, and you’ll never know about it
I mean yeah that sucks that can happen with coyotes, but dude if cats are damaging your stuff it’s because you’re a dick to them. They are smart enough to know and to take it out on you. Also that’s a great way to turn a minor dispute into a violent confrontation. Don’t escalate shit just because you want to feel superior. It’s not a rational response to kill your neighbor’s cat.
See I’ve had the opposite experience. As long as there’s a cat box in neutral territory, food, and water, and you let the cat lead on socializing with you, it’s fine. People run into problems when they treat cats like accessories instead of animals that have their own thoughts, agency, and borders.
Of course there will always be exceptions but if a cat is fucking with you and only you then you made it angry at you.
You seem to be imagining these cats harassing But_my_mom_says_im_cool directly. He’s complaining about property damage, not socialization problems. Cats are not crows. They do not remember when you’re rude to them, and then decide to destroy your garden. They’ll simply destroy your garden if it seems like fun
It’s fortunate that your experience with stray cats has been as positive as it’s been, but anyone who’s actually dealt with them knows you’re full of shit
I think the difference is probably I have the luxury of not dealing with cats who don’t want to interact with me. If you have to force them to do stuff then yeah it’s going to suck.
Be a little piece of shit, and one day you’ll find out that you aren’t the only one who can kill, as you learn your brakes aren’t functional on the highway.
Do you react the same way to people using pesticides or mole traps? A pest is a pest is a pest. If you want the moles to stay safe, don’t let them into your neighbor’s yards. Same goes for cats. That’s why I keep mine inside.
Yeah, sure, I’m not like “crash through their backyard wall and encourage the behavior” but also fuck people who act entitled as fuck and macho, just out to harm other living beings because they entered an imaginary zone next to their assumed home.

That’s not why people kill pests. If you find that your house is infested with cockroaches, do you just let them be because you don’t want to seem entitled?

But you’re making fun of people for acting “macho” for defending their property from destructive animals. Lol
I don’t think I missed your point at all. You were expressing derision at people who kill pests. I asked how you feel about pests in your own home, and you didn’t answer.
You… You think somebody let’s moles onto people’s yards? A pest is just an animal doing it’s animal thing. It’s humans that think their thought up idea of property gives them the right to kill another beeing.

How do you misunderstand my comment this badly? No, but people are letting cats into people’s yards. Cats, like moles, are pests, and homeowners can deal with them like any other pests.
If you want to protect a mole, don’t let it into someone’s yard. If you want to protect a cat, don’t let it into someone’s yard.
A pest is just an animal doing it’s animal thing.
Yes, and cats doing cat things makes them pests.

I just watched my cat torture a mouse the other day. Bit down on its head and popped it’s eye, opened its gut, and left it twitching on the floor. Why do you think humans have a monopoly on killing animals? At least we have some justification for it, and typically try to do it quickly and painlessly.
Don’t get me wrong—I’m not in favor of killing cats. I’m actually in favor of their survival, which is why I’m saying that you shouldn’t let it wander off unsupervised into a place where it’s likely to get killed.
All excuses as far as I’m concerned.

I’ve worked professionally with cats for over 7 years. I can confirm that cats will fuck with your shit no matter how you treat them lmao

Yeah but so will any animal. As to the not crows thing I disagree. They absolutely remember and spray and poop your area.

You mean like the cat that kills all manner of wildlife for no reason?

I will bet my left testicle that someone is gonna read this comment, and think I’m calling cats cockroaches. 100% guaranteed.
Intentionally missing the point, are we? Poor bait fam. Troll elsewhere.
