The 1 to 4 billion animals killed by outdoor cats every year: X_X

Not to mention all the outdoor cats that are themselves killed or horribly injured.

The only cat I've had that I've felt okay with letting roam was a stray that came to us declawed, so he was mostly harmless. We still ended up making him an inside cat because we caught him sneaking into the neighbor's house to steal their cat's food and poop in its litterbox.

Declawing is cruel. It's basically cutting off your first knuckle.

I would never do it to a cat, but when this particular one wandered into my then-girlfriend's house one night and decided he lived there, he was already declawed. He never seemed to suffer too badly from it, fortunately.
