Cats don't always show you what they kill. I had a roommate that kept letting my cats out. Never saw them kill anything. Then my neighbor told me about how they were little murder machines while I was out at work. Tried taking out a whole near of baby birds.

I have cameras, and I work from home. He literally does not leave a fenced-in rectangle. I know for a fact he doesn't kill anything.

It very well could be true. But I also don't really think you've been able to watch your cat every moment of his outdoor life to know he literally never goes anywhere and has never killed anything. My cats are indoor only in a tiny apartment and I frequently can't figure out where they are, even when I worked from home.

Well maybe ur cats snuk outside and killed animals how could u know

Because i live on the 4th floor of an apartment complex... i guess anything is possible, but sneaking out several doors and back would be impressive.

Bullshit and hearsay.

Those houses you both live in, how many animals were displaced to build them? How many died so your house can exist? You blame cats for the misery we as humans do to species of this planet. Sad

This is bullshit logic. We as adult humans already exist and have little choice about national housing policy. We can however choose not to contribute to suburban sprawl OR murder cats roaming the neighborhood whacking the wildlife. We can also choose not to have 12 children who will need space too. Not being able to do everything is a poor reason not to do anything.

Those cats already exist, you dipshit. Adopt, don't buy. Spay/neuter. Let them have an enjoyable life and move the fuck on.

Yes buddy I did adopt from the shelter I was volunteering at. In order to adopt you have to agree that the cat will not be allowed to roam outdoors because they don't want to adopt to morons.

You can choose to boycott the US, yet it will change nothing on capitalism existing, btw do u live in the US ? Because you are contributing in the most problematic country in history, please "choose" to leave the US

I can't for practical purposes leave I'm poor and my wife is disabled

I don't remember blaming cats all man made environmental catastrophes, but whatever.

It's a form of nonsense argument where instead of addressing the actual point someone points at something worse and implies that if we can't stop insert worse thing we somehow needn't worry about insert less worse thing. In actuality presumably they have an outdoor cat and are contributing to the problem and just want to justify it.
