Keeping pet cats indoors would save millions of native animals and billions of dollars. So what's stopping us? (www.abc.net.au)

Broader adoption of keeping cats safe at home would have large benefits for cat welfare, human health, local wildlife and even the economy. So, should cat owners be required to keep their pets contained to their property?

The answer to the question is obviously "yes".

Yeah, I'm not going to read your rant, have a nice day mr perfect animal trainer. Just know that your brother sucks at keeping cats happy and that's a fact. Money can't replace a responsible owner.

Exactly.

You're willfully ignorant, and that's why I pity the animals and people who have to suffer a person like you.

So you're trying yo argue that cats aren't extremely habitual animals which get stressed from external changes. Almost like someone who's never owned a cat, or if they have, then probably for the sole purpose of their own sexual gratification, the cat rapists that they are.

You see vets and science are on my side.
