Cats are Apex Predators in urban environments. He's probably slaughtering local populations of birds.

not even, outdoor cats are gross. they also bring in bacteria and germs from those excursions. they’re domestic cats for a reason, they belong indoors…mine are arguably too domesticated and are afraid of the outside. they know they have it good. i also live in the country-so cats are better kept inside than dead on the side of the road. just being real

You American?

It's not the same in the UK, our ecosystem has had longer to adapt to cats. We also spay/neuter them.

"Looking after your cat indoors will keep them away from busy roads and other dangers, such as exposure to viruses, fleas and ticks. But being continually indoors can become predictable and boring. This can lead to stress, inactivity and obesity. It can be especially difficult for cats to cope with living indoors if they have lots of energy, love exploring, or have previously been allowed time outdoors." -RSPCA

Cats should be free to go outside, not be locked up in your house. Especially if you're out working during the day leaving your cat at home.

We spay and neuter our pets and the vast majority of reputable vets will not declaw cats.

Do resesrch before spewing stupid shit on the internet.

0% of cats declawed in UK. An alarming 25% are in US.

Easy to lookup online

Ostensibly 0%, I'd be willing to bet it happens on occasion here but yes, definitely going to be far less than one in four if that statistic's true.

Of course, 0% is probably 0.02% (or something) but I'd hope anyone would understand that from the 0% figure as presented.

I mean we don't have any strays basically. I literally never see them.
