lions, tigers, etc should also be kept indoors

[-] loaExMachina@hexbear.net 9 points 2 years ago

Indeed they should and are, except when they are in their natural habitat. It's better to not take them out of their habitat in the first place, but it's also better to not release a buch of them in an environment that can't handle them.

What about cats in their natural habitat

[-] loaExMachina@hexbear.net 9 points 2 years ago

If you live in the natural habitat of the north african wildcat, it's a complicated question, because if cats outnumber their wild counterparts and interbreed with them, their descendants risk adopting unnatural behaviors like losing their fear of humans. The higher than normal number of predators could also be a risk for other local species (they may be used to being hunted by wild cats, but not that many...). So, yeah, depending on the cat population density in the area, they should probably stay indoors to.

Gonna stack a bunch of outdoor cats with problematic age gaps in order to sow chaos in the world.

Funny how people hate outdoor dogs roaming the streets yet have no problem with outdoor cats roaming the streets, curious

Outdoor cats generally don't threaten to maul me and usually just run away.

[-] Cysioland@lemmygrad.ml 8 points 2 years ago

Yeah, it was a bit jocular

Well, he's adopted her now, so I guess they're going to be missing out.

[-] Assian_Candor@hexbear.net 2 points 2 years ago

See folks this is why I keep my cat indoors. Not to protect the wildlife, not to avoid predators or cars, it’s because I know the mfer would upgrade

Outdoor cats are a much more common problem in international-community-1 international-community-2 than stray dogs

[-] hopelessbyanxiety@hexbear.net 3 points 2 years ago

this is true, but both my outdoor cats share the absolute disgust for the only amphibian i know of in my garden. That toad is a legend.

[-] Annakah69@hexbear.net 2 points 2 years ago

Humans poison trillions of "pest animals" a year. Outdoor cats could be part of a solution.

Birds need to get good.

[-] Lochat@hexbear.net 1 points 2 years ago

I'm just going to interpret this as being pro-poisoning outdoor cats.
