I hear what you're saying, but I'm not sure if I understand what you're getting at. Like, you think they should be spayed\neutered but allowed to be outside?
I feel the need to point out, I'm not disagreeing, just trying to be sure about what you mean.
Essentially, yes. A typical housecat isn't a good hunter, anyway, and I don't think animals are fit to live inside. Could you imagine never going outside? better to not have one in the first place.
We estimate that free-ranging domestic cats kill 1.3–4.0 billion birds and 6.3–22.3 billion mammals annually, and that un-owned cats cause the majority of this mortality.
un-owned cats cause the majority of this mortality.
Pets are good for human health and can have educational uses as well. Thats more importent than some birds.
The decrease in bird population is much more related to insecticides and the suburbs usually kill or drive out all natural predators who would also kill birds.
just because something is good for human health doesn't give humans the right to destroy the ecosystem. companion animals are fine but it's your responsibility to make sure they're not harming the ecosystem you share with billions of other lives.
Yeah, I agree with that. I'm not knowledgeable enough to speak on the exact effect it has on the environment or anything, but definitely spay and neuter. Every animal I've had has come from the pound, spayed neutered, etc.

Completely and demonstrably wrong.
Yea.. this person has never owned a cat.
ok, demonstrate it
No, flat earther, I will not waste my time to Google shit for you when it is the first thing that will pop up when you search.
If you actually cared about correcting yourself and not just taking the opposing side you'd have looked it up already.
Yes, feral cats.
Additionally, outdoor cats are just feral cats in function, except someone is sponsoring their invasive activities.
Wrong, estimates differentiate between owned cats and unowned by a factor of like 10
Cool source.
That's 90% of pets

You can have a cat and not let it destroy local ecosystems for funsies.

Keep your cat inside you fucking liberal.
Your cat doesn't need to kill animals for human health.
We put our cat out on a leash and let him do his thing in the yard. Cats absolutely kill wild birds.
