For those that don’t know why, cats are very capable hunters and absolutely decimate bird populations. Keeping cats outdoors has genuinely horrendous ecological consequences unfortunately :/ Edit: this position may not be as well academically supported as I thought. For the time being I’m not sure if outdoor cats pose significant ecological risks, evaluate the paper below and do further research if you’d like to investigate the topic more yourself :)

The outdoor cats discourse is my absolute least favourite, it’s such forced virtue signaling bullshit, and everyone that’s takes a stance on it is the most smug, houlier-than-thou mother fucker on the entire planet with absolutely no concept of nuance. And almost always they are Americans that are physically incapable of comprehending that different countries exist.
