    They don’t belong there

    They don’t cause serious ecological harm. Even the fucking bird preservation or whatever body says cats don’t have a serious impact on local bird populations.

    Oh and they do belong outside, actually. They come in and go out as they please.

    Outdoor cats live an average of 3-5 years

    Most cats are outdoor here, and live a damn sight longer than that. My own cat is 7 and counting. I have a relative who had an 18 year old cat.

    Maybe lifespan is different here because we don’t have 10-lane motorways every 10 meters in every direction.

    And for the record, if possible it is better for bears to be, well, outdoors in their natural habitat rather than a zoo.
