[alt text: a two panel comic. In the first panel, a doctor is talking to a patient, and the patient is holding her head. The doctor is saying, “Does it hurt?”, and the woman is replying, “Yes…”. In the second panel, the doctor is replying, “Keep your cat inside or I’ll punch you again”. ]

    sorry for having a moral backbone ig. i have two cats that are traumatized from living outdoors. When the front door is open, they don’t try to bolt, they stay put because they know they have it good. The outdoors is not good for domesticated cats, and domesticated cats are not good for local wildlife. There’s zero reason to send them outdoors, unless you like inflicting harm on animals. I am very passionate about this, and it makes me very sad that people dump their babies outdoors because they don’t want to spend the time and effort to provide them with enrichment.

          No, but because you seem to have convinced yourself that you know better than everyone else.

          When all you really know is you and yours.

            my opinions are based in facts and data, my dude. My personal connection to my two cats makes me extra passionate about this, but if the data said it was good for them to be outside, that’s what i would be advocating for. Full stop.
