Hey. So… i live rural and my cats are pets but also are working cats to keep the rodents out of my house.

Just saw some saltiness going on in the comments and wanted to address it.

Didn’t make this post with the intention of making anyone upset and I apologize to those I did.

      Sounds like not cutting a cat’s life expectancy in half while contributing to the decline of local wildlife to me

        Still sounds like a prison to me. Leave em cats alone if you wanna keep them in a box. That’s no animal life.

      Yeah, bedtimes are authoritarian and my mom making me eat vegetables is totally fascist

        You’re comparing stuff that isn’t even in the same ballpark. Cats are animals, they fight for territory, they reproduce, they explore. You’re negating all this to a reasonably sentient beast just to have a pet. It’s like those idiots who buy birds to keep em in a cage. It’s revolting. You wanna a pet? Buy a Tamagotchi. That one you can keep home.
