All cats should be indoor cats

[–] seathru@lemm.ee 4 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Agreed. All the strays are heartbreaking, they deserve homes!

Accordingly to my cat (and apparently Sarah Andersen's), this is a reliable way to give a stray a new home:

I'm not too eager to trust her biased sampling though.

[Serious now, we should be more active on that. Also to discourage people from letting cats to "take a walk" unsupervised.]

Can confirm. Cats always choose you, but sometimes it's more forcefully. This big boy busted through an open window, used the liter box, and proclaimed himself king.

Mine was hiding herself in my garage. At least the younger one, Siegfrieda; our old lady Kika was adopted almost like you would adopt a dog, but from a home owner instead of a pet shop. (Her mum's owner took a bit too long to spay her cat.)

Depends on if you live on a farm or not*

It's not like European outdoor cats don't murder wildlife and get killed

No no, the whole world is suburban North America.

[–] Kusimulkku@lemm.ee 1 points 9 months ago

I don't get what this comment is about. Is suburban North America especially dangerous for cats?

[–] sphfaar@lemmy.world 0 points 9 months ago

It is not their habitat, from experience I have had many cats, and in my opinion it is better to be able to leave them free so that they can go in and out without going where it needs to be clean.
