INDOOR ONLY. Outdoor cats are responsible for the destruction of native species.

This is the correct take.All Cats Are Beautiful
REVISIONISM! Cats in harnesses and on leashes may roam outside under supervision.
Would cats be allowed outside if we had a non-fractured ecosystem? Like I don'tdeny the destructive force of kittywittys but I feel it's nothing compared to agricultural practices and the loss of habitat space.
While that's a good point, housecats still aren't native to most places humans live. If you had befriended a native wild species of cat, that would be different, especially if you didn't feed it and it just did its thing during the day to get a meal. However, a typical housecat isn't hunting for food, but for sport, and they have a voracious appetite for killing.
