- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).

Realistically, outdoor cats don't travel much. They just hang out in their neighborhood, chill in their favorite spots, etc.
Cats have their territory and that's where they spend their time, doing cat things. It's just that an outdoor cat's territory isn't limited by walls.
Murder local wildlife, cause property damage to neighbors, kill neighbors pets, spread disease. Roaming cats suck, and so do their entitled owners who think that everyone's property belongs to their pet
While we're at it, let's get rid of birds that shit on everything, deer that eat our gardens, raccoons that get in our trash, skunks that dig up our grass ....
They brought up how cats disturb the ecosystem and spread disease. You brought up how other animals can disturb people's capital. These two are not equivalent.
Cats are natural in many parts of the world.
The Scottish wild cat for instance came to the UK across a land bridge 9000 years ago.
This thread is full of people that have probably never left America, regurgitating virtue signalling nonsense that they know very little about.
I understand that in some ecosystems that pet cats are devastating, but it's just not true for most of the world.
There's an enormous difference in the natural occurrence of native wild cats and feral or roaming domestic cats.
No one is arguing against native wild cats being around, but against artificially introducing a mesopredator into the ecosystem.
