i’m gonna be real with you guys i do not give a shit about people “stealing” outdoor cats. i don’t feel bad for people who let their cat free roam and found out that someone down the block unknowingly took it in because it was neglected enough for them to think it was a stray.

it’s funny you know because when i made this post i wasn’t even necessarily pro stealing cats i was simply saying “i don’t feel bad for you if you neglect your cat to the point of someone thinking it’s a stray”. but now after hundreds of notes from absolutely dumbass outdoor cat owners wailing about how they’re good owners for letting their cat outside after getting run over by cars/stolen by people/killed by animals i have to say that i think all of you should have your cats stolen and i, personally, am beginning a road trip to steal them all

The outdoor car debate gets people SO riled up. And like.

Look. I GET IT, no one wants to think they are a bad pet owner. You love your cats. You arent intentionally being awful. And you probably grew up with outdoor cats, or indoor/outdoor cats. (I did! They were feral as hell and we lived in the woods and all of them disappeared without a trace eventually. )

But, its 2021. You are responsible for learning and growing and doing your damned best by the animals in your care.

Listen- do not let your cats free roam outside. It’s bad for them and it’s bad for the local ecosystem.

Give them enrichment inside. Train them with a harness. Build a catio. I dont care. But dont let them free roam if you want the best possible life your your cat.
