Can you imagine if dog people let their dogs fuck off at night? They’d rightly be charged and have their pets taken away, what makes you special.
If your pet becomes my pest, I will deal with it as such. Not to mention all the dangers you’re risking your cat die to.
Really it’s a big case of entitlement, you think you’re entitled to use everyone’s property to entertain your cat, cause you’re too irresponsible of an owner to entertain and enrich your cat’s life at home
Newsflash: birds aren't cats either
If you're going to be an ass about it, at least have SOME logical consistency.
Cats have caused dozens of extinctions in the new world alone. I'm not as familiar with old world regions, but I understand they're not exactly friendly to local wildlife there either. They're not "just cats," they're an apex predator that no ecosystem outside of Northern Africa evolved to deal with. You don't let zebra mussels into your local lake. You don't plant kudzu in your yard. Don't let your cats outside unsupervised.
I'm very curious where you live. It seems more likely that you're simply unaware of your ecosystem than that you live in a place with only to animals that cats prey on
