New Research Suggests Outdoor Cats Kill More Wildlife Than Previously Thought
- ck2 10y agoThere's good reason why the egyptians domesticated them and kept them around the grain storage. I used to have a stray that was feral for a long time before she adopted me and she brought me live mice and occasionally I'd wake up to a squirrel on the kitcken floor which was horrifying. (cats do this if they think you can't hunt for yourself, lol) Now the lizard population around here is endangered no thanks to my current wild child. I'd freak out less if she would stop bringing them inside alive to play with.

- ck2 10y agoIf raising a cat from a newborn/kitten in a house, I see this advice and agree with it. But all my cats are former strays, either feral or abandoned, and once a cat has lived outdoors, you'll never get them to live indoors unless they are old and want to be inside. Besides I live in a tiny apartment, would never keep a cat cooped up in here.
