MODERATORS
Benefits for cats: No FIV infections, no car injuries, safe temperatures, no fights, no parasites.
Benefits for wildlife: no murder, fewer vectors, no loss of habitat to cats
Benefits for community: no roaming cats triggering sensor lights/setting off other pets/damaging property with claws, no toxo transmission, no digging up poo while gardening/losing plants to cat piss
Cons to cats: Keepers must provide entertainment
Cons to keepers: Exercise the level of basic responsibility every other keeper of pets is expected to, or parent with children.
Issue: Controversial??????????
Super controversial. I know plenty of people that are against pets indoors altogether.
Went to a vet specialised in behaviour to help with one of my cats. She insisted that I should let them out.

I think this is the the thread with the highest ratio of downvoted top level comments to upvotes ones I've ever seen on Lemmy
Toronto suburb I lived in had a no outdoor cats rule. Massive changes uears later, all the way up to increases in rabbits, deer, and coyotes.
The same whiny toddler tanties that come from people who think being told what to do is the end of the universe.

What's stopping us?
Assholes. Selfish assholes. Here in the US, one of my neighbors cats was killed by a coyote last week, it got the cat because it was out in the neighborhood. the results were horrific (like, they kept finding pieces of it around the neighborhood).
KEEP YOUR FUCKING PETS INSIDE YOUR GODDAMN HOUSES PEOPLE.
Said neighbor still lets their other cats roam. fucking twats.
Nothing. My cat is indoors 24/7.
