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.

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.

Birds need to get good.
I'm just going to interpret this as being pro-poisoning outdoor cats.
