#(and regarding A. Any variation of your cat bring outside without a leash or in an eclosed space like a fenced (!) backyard?)

Cannot watch 'cute cat videos' on here anymore because they either a. Endanger the cat or B. Endanger a prey animal that is being forced to interact with the cat

#No your bunny and your kitty snuggling is NOT cute that is a prey animal in a highly stressful situation #And one wrong move could trigger hunting instincts in the cat #'haha my cat is so silly she attacks my feet for funsies sometimes <3' #Okay why do you trust her not to attack your hamster then and let them roam free in the same room #(and regarding A. Any variation of your cat bring outside without a leash or in an eclosed space like a fenced (!) backyard?) #BAD FOR YOUR CAT #'I love my cat I just put him outside for several hours without supervision' #'And when he inevitably gets hit by a car/vanishes/is killed by other humans' #'I get a new one and do the exact same because why should I as the owner feel responsible for that?' #Tell me would you put your dog on the street like that?? #And then tell me earnestly why there's any difference between cats and any other pet that somehow means #You can just leave your cat in incredibly dangerous situations and 'it's fine' #Cats aren't magically smarter they're tiny pets who can do fuck all if a car hits them #Or another human decides to poison them #(and don't get me started on people putting their cats outside and getting pissed when other people interact with them) #(you wanna control your cats diet/interactions/health? KEEP THEM INSIDE) #'I didn't notice my cat had a wound until a week later haha' - yeah cause you barely see your cat #That's like putting a 7 year old outside everyday and going 'they're smart enough to avoid cars this is fine :D' #Anyway as you can see I have feelings about this topic #Because as a cat owner the safety and health of my baby it the most important thing ever #And I don't do everything right but I don't get people who get mad when you point out the OBVIOUS dangers of having an outdoor cat #Tell me you want a pet without wanting to take any responsibility for it without telling me-
