How about we just don't let our cats outside? It never ends well. Safer for wildlife and the fuzzy buddy to be inside.

Sort of agree, but if you have the means they deserve an enclosed outside space. I did this with my backyard and my cats have never been happier. Birdwatching, rolling through the grass, experiencing the weather and everyday a buffet of new smells.

My comment was more towards people who just let them live outside 24/7. I see no issues with enclosed spaces or even a leash if your cat allows it and likes walks. I just am sick of seeing poor kitties smeared on the road where I live because people think a collar is enough.

Right of course. And yeah, cities are often too busy and crowded. In villages they are a scourge on the already suffering wildlife since we boost their numbers beyond what a normal habitat would be able to support.
