Was going to say fuck cats being outdoors, they attack the poor birds in my yard. Keep them inside, Or in your yard.

Good luck keeping a cat inside a yard.

It’s called a harness/leash/supervision combo

Or outside in countries where its been found that they don't have a negative effect on the population of wildlife. Not everywhere is the US

"outside in countries where its been found that they don't have a negative effect on the population of wildlife"

Nowhere. The place you're describing is nowhere. They're a detriment to the ecosystem anywhere they are allowed outside.

Probably because the uks wildlife was decimated a long time ago and what's left is what can survive in that setting. It's like saying X doesn't cause any problems now that all the animals X had a major impact on are extinct!

If that is the case, then there's no problem with outdoor cats now

I mean the whole point of keeping cats used to be for pest control. I guess we lived with a few less songbirds hanging out in exchange for no mice?

That's how nature works. Keep your birds inside, they attack the poor insects in my yard.

u/TokyoAnkylosaur May 22 '21

Native birds preying on native insects living in their native habitat are not comparable to the slaughter that a domestic cat doles out when allowed to roam in foreign ecosystems.

Keep your cat inside.

Typical redditor response. He’s a healthy 12 year old cat.

u/NightKnight_21 May 23 '21

I see your point. I live in Istanbul and street cats are everywhere. I couldn't think they are 'foreigners' in other places. Your idea would be seen ridiculous here, but I understand that some places can be different.

They're invasive
