The Picard ManeuverI read that somewhere
VinnyDaCatYou wouldn’t do this to your cat. Or your dog. Or any other pet. Why should they have to go through it?
Sagan_WeptI would eat both of it were legal. Dog meat has been described to me multiple times and it sounds devine. Cats used to be called rooftop chickens. If you’re unwilling to eat X meat because of sympathy, I think you’re a bad omnivor.
Dont forget that cats also are invasive in a lot of places. Now get that rooftop chicken before it gets an actual bird.

on a serious note: the good PR that cats have is INSANE they are dangerous for avifauna but saying that ones cat is an “outside cat” who needs to roam around freely is somehow considered a valid statement - it is a pet ffs. But doing the same with a dog usually is not.
MinnesotaGoddami mean our “outside cats” are usually doing work killing rats and shit, so
Yeah that can be a valid context from my POV, especially in a farm or sth similar.
But at least in my country the majority of outside cats are in suburbs or similar family homes with no agriculture around that is threatened by vermin.
On the other hand now I am wondering on the efficiency of cats as pest control.
i’m in a multifamily home right on the edge of suburbia/agriculture. our cats are still pest control (the weeks the fields get sprayed we are overrun with mice and rats. folk who have indoor cats didn’t have to deal with it indoors and a few years later everyone had cats. ours don’t catch anything but bugs, but just their scent keeps the rodents away. also the frogs thank the gods that was a year when a frog moved in. tiny fucker was so loud and we couldn’t find him. ended up being the size of a dime. we had to make our indoor/outdoor mouser (we didn’t know 20 years ago, also were more rural) go hang out near where the frog was but the damn racket even scared off our cat at first)
