I once had a neighbor constantly losing track of her outdoor cat, and would wander around calling the cat by name for an hour. I relayed this obnoxious story to a nature photographer, he said kill the cat, as in shoot it. I said no. He said to buy him a plane ticket, and he'll shoot the cat.
A family member is a veterinary technician, and says outdoor cats do a lot of damage, and the cat themselves lives a shorter life. Outdoor cats should be considered the same as any stray animal or varmint and picked up by animal control, but I guess it's impractical for whatever reason.
Anyway, cats should be kept indoors, and outdoor cat owners are ignorant.

- oneeyedpigeon 9y agoWhat country are you guys from that the phrase “outdoor cat” is a thing? Where I live, the uk, that’s just a cat; “indoor cat” would be the notable, unusual state.
- badpun 9y agoAny cat kept in a flat above ground level is pretty much an indoor cat. In some countries, most people don’t live in houses, but in flats.
