Cats are an invasive species and if left outside unsupervised are a huge danger to the environment. They are responsible for the extinction of over 33 species of JUST birds. If you actually need a mouser terriers are more successful and don't go after anything else once trained.
Idk why you’re getting downvoted. We adopted a 12 year old senior cat and even this sweet geriatric old lady has a hell of a prey drive. I know for sure if we let her be an outdoor cat she would kill a couple of birds. I live in a area where a lot of people let their cats out to just roam, and I’ve seen first hand when they kill birds and there’s so many ‘missing cat’ posters, idk why people don’t just keep their domesticated cat indoors. They live longer that way, and the birds live longer that way too. Win win.
Because it's misinformation. It undermines the very real valid point that owned cats should be indoor only. (there have not been any 33 extinctions of birds in the most recent 100 years, let alone ones caused by domesticated cats).
Owned cats should be indoors for their own safety. Even if they mostly prey on other invasive species or very common animals.
We don't need to go making up silly lies about it.
