zoologicallyobsessed:Bored in isolation let’s start this old drama again. You are a bad pet owner if you willfully ignore all the evidence of how bad outdoor cats are to the environment, other pets, humans and cats themselves. And I hope for the sake of your cats you don’t learn that the hard way. My aunts cat was poisoned, almost hit by a car many times, attacked by many animals (birds, raccoons, maybe a fox?) and came back with giant wounds, had a seizure likely from being poisoned again, someone attempted to drown him, and then he was poisoned one last time, which killed him. She truly couldn’t control these behaviors because he wasn’t her cat to begin with, but whoever had him first and allowed him outdoors to make him an outdoor cat is why he’s been through all of that (and probably more, can’t remember). He had a long life despite all that and we honestly have no fucking clue how he managed to live that long, but your cat probably won’t be as lucky. Don’t let your cats get used to going outdoors. Because then they will always want to. And they’ll fight you to get out. And find ways out. And then you have to worry about all those things. -- source link
