Too cute ☠️

This must be a cultural thing because cats wonder all over the place in my country. No one has a problem with it.
- They quite literally only stated facts, so you're not really saying anything useful.
  Your country might also just be your own sphere, if people don't have problems with these obvious issues and zero concerns for their cats health then maybe they should change.
- it's ok if you live in a countryside somewhere.
  can't imagine letting my pet just roam around a fucking city though
I'd take hundreds of stray cats roaming the neighborhood over a single loose pit bull. Loose pit bulls are fucking dangerous and make me consider exercising my right to carry a firearm even though I'm generally repulsed by the idea.
- Yeah but, and hear me out on this... one of these does not exclude the other. Both are good.
- Go back to Reddit with that shit.
- I'd take one loose Pitbull over 50 rabid tigers let loose in an elementary school. Loose rabid tigers are fucking dangerous and make me consider exercising my right to carry a bazooka even though I'm generally repulsed by the idea.
- Okay well you're comparing apples to oranges here now
Cats on the street have an average lifespan between one to 5 years, pretty sad.
Okay, I'll bite: Half your accusations are nonsensical. Cats kill "other pets"? Yeah, I suppose, if you put your goldfish in a shallow bowl on your patio... Property damage? Did you even use half a brain cell before making that statement?
Furthermore - yes, domestic cats killing birds is an issue. One that's successfully inflated and thrown at you from tons of news to try and distract you from the orders of magnitude larger effect that industry has on the bird population.
Beyond that: cats are an issue where they are brought into an ecosystem that hasn't adapted to them, e.g. New Zealand. But in most parts of the world, cats are absolutely compatible with the ecosystem, as their typical prey is detrimental to gardens / agriculture. Why do you think humans domesticated cats in the first place?
Take your undifferentiated hate against cats to a therapist and work on your self hate.
I would also argue that keeping your cat Inside all day is also shit. The wildlife killing problem can be solved by just having a bell around its neck.
- A bell is actually a problem - less for the bell for because the necklace can get caught in branches and the cat can get strangulated.
- Or, put them in a pen. Or, leash and walk them. It’s no different than having a dog and being respectful of neighbors.
- The short sighting of this comment Is unbelievable
- I love cleaning your cats piss and dead animals from my house foundation and yard. Glad it doesn’t affect you much.

I got run over by a fucking electric scooter the other day when I was ferrying boxes from my appt to a car (lots of work being done in my home, had to move stuff out). The guy was going at full speed on the sidewalk (absolutely illegal) and said "well, you could have looked before going out".
And when I mentioned his (mandatory) insurance, he went "cheerio" and sped off leaving me having to do bandages for two weeks while my knees mended.

Anyway, good thing I have 3 lives.

If only it was safe for e-scooter riders to use the road, alas the road is filled with cars that will absolutely turn them into paste.
In my city tons and tons of people use e-scooters and it's fine, because as it turns out people ride on sidewalks because it's the only non-suicidal option.
- I don’t know your city, but in America it’s very well established that riding bikes on the sidewalk is less safe for cyclists as well as other sidewalk users. This applies to e-scooters just as well, and includes car dominated cities.
  Turns out people are really bad as judging relative risk when it comes to traffic. If you live in a modern western city, I bet your city is the same.

CATS. CATS ARE NICE.

GNU pTerry

Fun Fact: In Germany we say "Katzen haben sieben Leben." ("Cats have seven lives." ).

I guess they've already died twice before coming to Germany.
Ah yes, german efficiency
Idk why but that phrase seems like something someone who was trying to make fun of the German language would say in a mocking tone
Same in Colombia haha
Fascinating!

It's quite safe in my city. They can use the bike infrastructure. That's why it's absolutely illegal to use sidewalks. For obvious reasons.

If non car transportation isn't an option where you are (in the US presumably) you should consider joining a local lobbying group.

don't make me cry it's too early

Electric scooters killing a cat. I d want to know more, sounds difficult.
