Indeed they should and are, except when they are in their natural habitat. It's better to not take them out of their habitat in the first place, but it's also better to not release a buch of them in an environment that can't handle them.
except when they are in their natural habitat.
no exceptions
If you live in the natural habitat of the north african wildcat, it's a complicated question, because if cats outnumber their wild counterparts and interbreed with them, their descendants risk adopting unnatural behaviors like losing their fear of humans. The higher than normal number of predators could also be a risk for other local species (they may be used to being hunted by wild cats, but not that many...). So, yeah, depending on the cat population density in the area, they should probably stay indoors to.
Gonna stack a bunch of outdoor cats with problematic age gaps in order to sow chaos in the world.
Funny how people hate outdoor dogs roaming the streets yet have no problem with outdoor cats roaming the streets, curious
Outdoor cats generally don't threaten to maul me and usually just run away.
Well, he's adopted her now, so I guess they're going to be missing out.
See folks this is why I keep my cat indoors. Not to protect the wildlife, not to avoid predators or cars, it’s because I know the mfer would upgrade
Outdoor cats are a much more common problem in than stray dogs
Fuck gastropods though. Slimy bastards stay off my onions. I don't want a brain eating amoeba. Go back to the sea where you belong.
this is true, but both my outdoor cats share the absolute disgust for the only amphibian i know of in my garden. That toad is a legend.
Humans poison trillions of "pest animals" a year. Outdoor cats could be part of a solution.
Birds need to get good.
I'm just going to interpret this as being pro-poisoning outdoor cats.
