      Not to mention all the outdoor cats that are themselves killed or horribly injured.

      I miss the internet where people could laugh at a silly comics instead of writing and upvoting this.

        Mate, we’re old enough now to have to actually fix shit instead of waxing lyrical about our youth. Let’s work together, and still have a laugh.

        They’re projecting. There is an industry killing billions of animals which is also very bad for the environment and ecosystems. If only they could be as passionate about that as about someone else’s cat…

        Do you get off on animals going extinct? What is wrong with you?

        “Outdoor domestic cats are a recognized threat to global biodiversity. Cats have contributed to the extinction of 63 species of birds, mammals, and reptiles in the wild”

          Pretty fuckin low on the priority list to be honest. Cats have been doing this forever. Humans are way worse.

            Yeah in their natural habitats, humans are the ones that brought cats with them enabling them to hunt species to extinction. Cats could not have done it without humanity’s help.

          Why are you proud of lacking empathy for other living creatures? Are you hollow inside? When will you become part of figuring out a balance, instead of being proud of the problem?

            There’s not a problem. You guys are worried about pet cats killing birds.

            Long list of shit before that’s even remotely on my radar. Get a grip man and realize how privileged you are to sit here complaining about bullshit fuckin problems online.

              Do you realize how many other places in the universe have birds and cats and whales? They’re our only other companions in a cold, hard universe where so much can go wrong.

              As such, I care a lot more about flora and fauna than mere human achievements and the problems that have resulted; while I’m proud of my species we also need to protect life in our respective little corners. That starts by not letting cats outdoors, and that’s a fact.
