They're bad for the environment if they get out of the house, and a lot of people have made fair arguments that they're not actually a domesticated animal.

if they get out of the house

Well, the solution is to not let them get out

Well taken care of indoor cats live longer and healthier lives anyway 🤷

[-] lud@lemm.ee 1 points 6 months ago

It's debatable if the cats live happier lives though.

Our cat is pretty much depressed during winter because she can't (Well she can if she wants but it's cold and snowy 🤷) go out. When it's summer she seems way happier because she can run around outside.

She is also less annoying during the summer because during winter she constantly meows because she has nothing to do.

But how can you proofread your manuscripts without one?

and a lot of people have made fair arguments that they're not actually a domesticated animal.

Yeah and that makes them even better.

[-] Slovene@feddit.nl 8 points 6 months ago

There are dozens of felines native to the Americas

i understand the sentiment but the "cats are bad for the environment" thing is mostly about how the human practice of keeping and breeding cats has made more cats than are good for the environment and placed them basically everywhere.

like yeah there are native cats but also we have a shit ton of cats brought and/or bred by humans that nature is not equipped to handle

Care to elaborate on your second point? Like why/how is that an issue?
