I think it’s cruel, but I’ll still get one. What are you going to do about it?
You have such a parochial view that you don’t even know what happen beyond your secluded life. Come to Asia and you’ll see and hopefully you’ll learn. Very rare to find indoor cats e. g. in South East Asia. They stay inside, but are free to roam outside. - unlike you view which are dead inside.
May as well. Someone should tell that to my current neighbor who lets his cat roam, cause he either doesn’t know or care that Coyotes are common around here. In any case, no matter what you FEEL, it’s not good enough to justify why you feel entitled to allow your property (a cat is legally property) to go about free to do whatever it wants to do to everyone else’s stuff. At the crux of it, it’s entitlement. Why do you feel entitled to let your pet roam while saying others like dog owners can’t do the same.
Yeah but my cat doesn’t leave my garden, and I have zero coyotes living living near me. Not to add I have a neighbour with three cats and they’ve never damaged anything while the dog my neighbour has takes dumps Im my yard and barks all night. I don’t disagree that cats cause alot of harm, especially in countries like Australia and new Zealand. However calling for a worldwide ban to cats going outside I don’t think is the solution.
If your cat isn’t leaving your garden it’s not roaming. I frankly don’t care if your cat is in danger, that’s your job to care about that. I care about my property and my own pets who are in danger from roaming cats. Like I said before, do what you want, let your cat roam, but don’t cry when it never returns. Let your cat roam, but eventually it will be dealt with as the pest it is and you’ll have no recourse.
If you think it’s cruel to keep a cat indoors, don’t get one.

I get rescues that wouldn’t have a life otherwise. Would you rather they be killed?
