Meme or whatever, but fuckwits that keep cats outdoors (and cat hoarders) are the main reason why my charitable donations to animal groups focus on spay/neuter programs rather than shelters. I know the animals in shelters need help too, but reducing the inflow of animals into the shelters helps them as well.

And reduces hazards to wildlife from cats, whether they be outdoor pets, strays, abandoned, or feral.

And reduces demand for meat-based cat foods.

It's the most efficient way to help that I can think of.

my environmental science teacher spent an hour talking about what apex predators cats are and how terrible outdoor cats are….
they pretty much kill for fun, all day….
if you declaw your cat (which is evil) and put a bell on it, then the last thing the bird will hear is a bell ringing while being batted to death.
they just decimate the local wildlife.

if you declaw your cat

declawing your cat is like cutting last segment of humans finger. please don't do that, it is a straight up torture, far worse than cutting ears, and should be illegal.
