Holy crap..yes. leash your cats for the love of all that is fuzzy.
The anger people have when you tell them it's neglect when you just let a cat roam free. It's insanity. Your cat can easily just never come home or be found dead to many things, and they also destroy lots of wildlife and crap on people's property with no respecting owner to clean up.
No one would take this from dogs..so why cats? It's literally for their safety and the safety of other animals...its mind boggling and the downvotrs prove it
Yes, I will bring my half feral barn cat inside.
You know the reason it's a feral cat, is because people let the cats roam free. It's the result of people neglecting their pets and letting them roam to begin with.
This a compounding issue and people are justifying loose feral cats, because they found a loose feral cat so it must remain feral.
Barn cats with a job on a farm in the country are obviously a different story, my issue is more directed at the cats roaming in urban neighbourhoods, with no purpose/job.
Picture your neighbourhood with feral dogs..you'd be annoyed/upset/scared when you come across one taking a massive dump on your lawn and it gets defensive about its territory. Cats are realistically no different but somehow socially accepted. It makes no sense.
