        You capable people can train cats. That’s what i had to get into an idiot neighbors skull. His outdoor cat had been a pain in the ass all around, and his excuse was that one cannot train a cat.

      If they break curfew, they are captured and kept in cages. They might be forcefully sterilized or even killed via lethal injection.

      there are a lot of anti-cat nutcases out there who basically think cats should never be let outside ever. and are trying to change laws to make this vision a reality, under the guise of ‘protecting wildlife’.

      not any different than people who wnat to make the entire interet require age verification to ‘protect the children’

      it’s stupid but it’s gaining traction because there isn’t any organized resistance to it.

        Except we have mountains of undeniable evidence that cats harm birds and other wildlife.

        Cats instinctively kill birds and other small rodents. While I certainly see the appeal of outside cats the people arguing based on environmental concerns also have a point.

        Additionally you should be really careful letting your cat out as it can get into something and then make you sick as a result

          99% of cats are not native to wildlife in Europe or the americas. there are very very few specialised to their environment felines that look like housecats but it’s very few numbers (often dwindeling because of housecats). small feline != housecats or feral cats.

        Also, bird kills are almost all feral cats, not Fluffy. Odd how that’s never brought up in these discussions.
