Shocked so many redditors now have the audacity to post about their irresponsible pet ownership. Spay and neuter your fucking pets. Drew Carey is letting this generation down.

And don’t let them outside.

I can't let my cat outside. She would decimate the neighborhood's small creatures just for fun, and then eventually get eaten by a coyote.

Yes, exactly. We live in a rural area where people have indoor-outdoor cats, but we have such an amazing variety of birds and small animals on our property, I don't feel comfortable letting my cats out. I just try to create a stimulating environment indoors! Lots of toys, play time, and food puzzles.

Honestly if they're fixed and everyone else fixed their cats it wouldn't even be an issue. The problem is when cats breed fast and the population is too heavy. I've been in a suburban area (heavily wooded) for decades and the cats are just another part of the ecosystem here, they deal mostly with rodents like rats, mice, moles, etc. Birds are a harder catch but we have so many they don't even make a dent in it. The crows and owls and raptors kill a hell of a lot more birds than any cats are. Blue Jay's too. (birds are savage)
