    Don’t let your cats wander freely, it’s terrible for local wildlife. And if they’re anything like the cats in my neighborhood, they’re terrorizing other cats that are responsibly kept inside.

    For all you know a neighbor is about to put out a trap to capture your cat and take it to a shelter. I know because I’m about to do that for the two cats that keep trying to attack my cats through our windows.

      My cat goes out, under supervision, to a limited area of the yard/driveway/garden. She was raised indoors for almost 10 years and she’s somewhat timid, less these days, but definitely running for the house if spooked. You should see the joy on her chubby kitty face laying on the hot pavement in the sun. I think cats deserve some outside time, but they shouldn’t be let to just roam free. It’s also kind of just feeding cats to the coyotes…

      You know why, you HAVE to see my beautiful happy kitty in the sun

      What a princess!

        100% agreed, my kitties love their outside time. They go out into our fenced yard in harnesses with pretty long leads to explore around. ♥️

    My cat doesn’t give a fuck. I’ve met her outside the grocery store, and she tries to follow me inside.

        I interpreted it as “You cat is judging you, and has determined that you are not chil.”

        Maybe because I own a cat

    No joke, I was out for a walk one day and I found my cat’s disembodied head laying by the pedestrian trail. Apparently the coyotes nabbed him, ate his body, and placed his head on the pedestrian trail as a trophy

        That’s an awful thing to say to someone. Would you say that to somebody’s face in person?

        Was it a weird, grotesque, out of place comment? Yea, totally.

        Is it okay to talk down to someone like you did for that? Not in my opinion.
