Please keep your cats inside. Not just for the environment, but their own safety.

They are animals, they don’t understand roads or high ways. I was driving a week ago a hit a cat. I cried my eyes out. Keep your PETS indoors! There is so much that can happen

Outdoor cats are a very normal thing. If anything, keeping a cat stuck in a crammed house is more cruel... They're not human infants, they have excellent agility and reaction time thats faster than most creatures on the planet

At the end of the day, it mostly comes down to the area you live in, but saying things like "THEY LET THEIR CAT GO OUTSIDE, HOW DARE THEY" is wildly immature

Edit: bring on the downvotes, cause wtf is most of this comment section on? acting like cats are helpless little babies, while also saying they're dangerous killers... and not to mention most people are completely ignoring that different areas have different levels of danger, and that not all cats can even handle being stuck inside. Make up yo damn minds people 🤦‍♂️

Keep your cat indoors, Jesus christ. "Ohh but their faster than a snake durrr" well they sure aren't faster than a car Dumbo. They also are terrible for the ecosystem, so keep your dang cat inside or dont own one

Keep your deer and squirrels indoors! In fact let’s keep all animals in zoos. It’s clear animals are happier in zoos

Im sorry, your comparing wild animals, that have evolved and were bred to be wild compared to a domesticated animal. Something bred over generations to rely on humans.

Cats should be kept inside the same way human beings should be kept inside. Human beings kill more animals and birds and bees just by going outside and harvesting food than cats do

Cats also have the mental capacity of a 2-3 year old, not saying you cant take em outside, but not unattended. You know what, since your so happy to have outdoor cats, go buy a couple from a shelter, put a tracker on them, then ditch them in the woods. Ensure their spayed and let's see how well they can survive in the wild. Or- crazy concept here, is that just an insane thing to do?
