What sort of solution is there to the cat problem that saves the cat from cruelty while also keeping our rodent, bird and small reptile and amphibian populations healthy?
>>4878187Keeping cats indoors is not cruel. They are dumber than chihuahuas don’t care at all. Over 2/3s of cats in the us are indoors only and do fine. Just get them in pairs and actually play with your cat. Maybe give them some weed and catnip if you’re not up to it. Problem solved.
>>4878189How often do you leave the door open for long periods of time wherein they can leave if they choose to? Be honest.
>>4878191i dont let animals fuck themselves and others over in the name of instincts. they are mindless. we have minds. we can manage their lives for them without their comprehension. sure a cat would pursue the scent of food through an open door. but do they give a shot about freedom? no, only food territory and sex. its the same as your cat smelling fish you wont share. if they hate it they can kill me or someone else their sleep like those abused dogs and horses that attack their owners and their families
>>4878187Cats arent smart enough to comprehend liberty anon. They do fine indoors with company and shit to do. They are not travis the chimp or a husky that digs and chews through the wall
what is with all these cat seething threads the past couple days? holy shit. did a third world country get the internet recently?
>>4878214A few people are having a conflict of conscience after their cats killed endangered red squirrels and tortured songbirds to deathThis happens every so often until a new cat owner realizes their pet is a satanist
>>4878187My cats have eaten everything they've ever caught. Even the stuff they're not supposed to and puke up an hour later.>>4878214NPC tourist starts a cathate thread, other tourists start doghate threads in response, more tourists make more cathate threads in response, tourists make more doghate threads in response...It's an endless cycle that flares up in waves each month.
>>4878214its thirdies, especially muslims, that love cats? first worlders disproved the ratting cat myth a while ago. they’re a very lower class pet.
>>4878218>endangered red squirrelsyou mean chipmunks
>so far the only solution offered is "keep all cats indoors"Is this really what it's going to take? Are cat owners in agreement here?
>>4878221>they’re a very lower class pet.cats are the beloved pets of millions across the western world. you can make up whatever narrative and shit and piss your pants over them all you want, doesn't change this fact in the slightest.
>>4878191>>4878189Remember to ignore our resident chihuahua buttsniffer schizo. He has a serious meltdown whenever he's called out (due to his posts being so obvious)
>>4878187Since I don't care about cats my solution is simply to kill every cat on Earth. One of the few animals whose extinction will not negatively impact nature. Cats are destructive pests and must be killed everywhere they roam. And cat lovers must be killed alongside cats since we know they will interfere.If the Earth is oh so overpopulated kills cats and kill cat hags. Killing both of these helps nature and even the health of humanity, there is no downside. And before you say it, cat hags proved themselves to be subhuman so they deserve no consideration.
>>4878304Cats are also semi-wild vermin control to millions across the world, including the west, not even thought of as pets in the first place. Nobody cares if a barn cat disappears one day. These are the "outside cats" threads like this are about. Nobody's coming for your precious woobie.

>>4878189>>4878197>>4878201>>4878218>>4878390its just so easy to tell who you are
>>4878445ah right, probably the guy saying "total cat death" in the thread where a cat caught a bird on someone's balcony
>>4878450this but unironicallydogredditor posts his disproven arguments in every cat thread
bump
>>4878187My kot cries when she goes outside so I'm pretty sure she much prefers remaining indoors.
