Hey. So… i live rural and my cats are pets but also are working cats to keep the rodents out of my house.

Just saw some saltiness going on in the comments and wanted to address it.

Didn’t make this post with the intention of making anyone upset and I apologize to those I did.

    Sounds like not cutting a cat’s life expectancy in half while contributing to the decline of local wildlife to me

      Still sounds like a prison to me. Leave em cats alone if you wanna keep them in a box. That’s no animal life.

        They’re either domesticated or not. Letting your cats outside is deliberately introducing and invasive species into the wild.

          They’ve always been outside since they started living with us. What the hell are you saying?

            Housecats aren’t native to North America at all, dude. ‘They’ve always been outside’ only applies to North Africa, where they come from.

              They’ve always lived outside since they started living among us, all over the world.
