Cats should go outside
spoiler
But make them wear shoes to cover them little claws
It's fair as long as the cats take their shoes off before entering the house.
Shoes are bourgeois decadence. Of all comrades I thought you would be in favor of touching dirt.
Apparently cars alone account for a huge proportion of outdoor cat deaths. Plus parasites, disease, fights with dogs, fights with other cats, fights with racoons, fights with skunks, very very one-sided fights with coyotes, eagles, accidents other unspecified, and god knows what else. Life is harsh when you weigh five pounds.
very very one-sided fights with coyotes
This is really it in all the rural and even some urban areas I've lived in lol. Cats that roam beyond their neighborhood (or if they live out in an sparsely populated area to begin with) will eventually find their way into the areas where coyotes tend to hang out.
Coyotes when they see an outdoor suburban cat:
:pete-eat:
i forget which of the five websites that just post screenshots of the other four websites, but there was a story about some guy who had a lot of cats die and
i dunno man sounds like you're just feeding the coyotes
i remember reading this so i found a reddit link to the screenshot of a twitter post:

Life is harsh when you weigh five pounds.
I once had a cat that weighed at least 15 lbs and would fight small dogs :arm-L: :party-cat: :arm-R:
Also fights with wild (big) cats. A family member who lived out in the sticks had an indoor/outdoor cat that got into it with a fucking bobcat one night. She scared it off, but not before it got some nasty scratches in. She was an indoor-only cat after that, and it took a few years for the damage from the scars to clear up. She ended up living to the ripe old age of 17 or 18 -- not bad, considering.
I grew up in a home where the cats spent about half their time outside, and apart from one that got run over, four of them lived to see 15. No coyotes in the area, though.
My dad has gone through 11 different outdoor cats in the time that I've had my oldest indoor cat. I'm constantly tempted to save this one cat he has that's super sweet, because I know it's only a matter of time.
remember we're implied to be talking about house cats.
cats can also go outside if they weigh more than me.
yea I have no idea what's been going on the last couple of days. my dwarves need me
hell yeah i keep embarking on heavy aquifer areas and weeping when all my dwarves drown in a cataclysmic flood after I get over-confident on my well digging skills
