Growing up as a kid in Australia we had outdoor cats. Not housecats that we let out sometimes. They weren't allowed in the house ever. Basically tiny lions that loafed around the house murdering native birds. Shit was fucked. Like at least outdoor dogs are just kind of doofuses.
In a sane world we'd set a soft and hard date to ban cats in Australia. The soft would be soon and they couldn't be bought or sold. But you can keep them (only indoors).
The hard would be longer than any cat has lived, and after that you just can't own them in any way.
that's the historically normal way for cats to live around people in the places where these cats are native. or "native", since people carried their middle eastern cats all around the old world as agriculture spread.
i guess they've already killed everything that couldnt adapt to cats in these places, while the process is still ongoing in AU, NZ and the americas.

It's especially fucked that we're allowed cats in Australia at all considering they're extincting most of our unique native wildlife.
I wish I could live in an Australia where quolls and bilbies where a common sight, but no we had to turn this place into yet another british suburb.

If we can ban rabbits (in some states) we can ban cats
The canadian province of Alberta has 0 rats. If they can do that, we can keep cats indoors.
0 non-native rats. Pack rats are native to Alberta.
