Who in their right damn mind let's their cat run around outside? Thanks for killing all of the birds.

This is so laughable. In my lifetime I've seen almost all the trees in this area cut down. I've seen all the insects killed with insecticides. I wonder if there are any worms left to eat under that manicured grass. There were literally so many bugs in the air that people cleaned their windshields with every tank of gas. (Ever wonder why there are squeegees at every gas station???) Now there are literally none.

If anything, more cats are kept indoors than when I was a kid. This is such laughable nonsense that cats are decimating birds. Human beings are.

I have an exclusively indoor cat BTW.

Science disagrees with you. Cats are the second leading cause of bird mortality after habitat loss. Cats kill 1.3-4 billion birds and 6.3-22.3 billion mammals annually. Scientific studies back this up. https://www.nature.com/articles/ncomms2380

That's just stupid. I've had this argument with an ornithologist, too. The craziest thing is completely ignoring that we have systematically killed their food supply and their habitat, and at the same time made laws making outdoor cats illegal. And yet cats are to blame based on "scientific studies" of the outdoors. So, so absurd. When I was a kid there was a plethora of insects and also hundreds upon hundred of birds in the skies every fall up and down Rockville Pike, gathering to migrate. Now there are zero insects, no trees on the pike, a dozen or so birds gathering in the fall, and most cats are indoor cats. Cats are NOT to blame for this. That's just common sense. You can't study the entire outdoors. So stupid.

+1. And I know I could find opposing studies if I only googled, but I don’t feel like googling. So there!

Wow. Just wow on the stupidity here.

You sound like the kind of person who tells your doctor, “fix my bronchitis but not my broken leg because I can’t handle more than one thing at a time.” There is plenty of research (that one link is only the start) to show that cats are the SECOND leading cause, after human activity, of bird extinctions.

But hey. If you’ve seen these links before in DCUM, you’ve also seen this simple logic. Yet you continue to ignore it and spew insults, as if insults and your anecdata would convince anybody. So stupid.

“Humans are the problem” poster is incapable of learning. She makes that argument on every thread like this, and gets shot down for being an idiot on every thread. And yet she’s always back to push that again on the next thread. Does she think nobody will remember? Is she just an idiot? So stupid.

Play with your damn cat. Get a catio or a leash. There are plenty of resources online to help you. Otherwise, you don’t deserve to own pets.

Cats are nasty. They use the litter box have filth on their paws then walk all over your kitchen counters and table tops. You can't get much more unsanitary than that.

Have you heard of this thing called dogs?

Clearly you are no Jack Burns.

Whether it’s easy or not, just know: some of us have a visceral hatred for these rodents. As Richie Aprile said to Chris Moltisanti: just give me a reason.

What on earth are you talking about? Cats aren't rodents. And your old people references don't mean anything to me. Go lie down and have a nice cup of tea you seem riled up and that always worked on my grandparents

Cats are rodents and your apartment is gross and stinks. You have disgusting hair all over your clothes when you go to work. Nobody likes you.

Rodentia is the Order of rodents and they are characterized by two pairs of incisors that grow continuously. Cats are in the Order Carnivora. And famously hunt and eat rodents.

You are truly a hateful person. I will pray for you.

DP. LOL The Sopranos was a huge hit among millennials during the COVID lockdown, it was an actual phenomenon.

Get with the times, Granny. And play with your damn cat instead of letting it poop all over the neighborhood. People like you shouldn’t be allowed to own pets.

I don't know any of my contemporaries that were lounging around on lockdown binging shows. We were all either working at essential jobs at the hospitals or busting our asses trying to keep young kids occupied while working from home. No idea who these people you are talking about...maybe Gen Z?

I'm certainly not a grandmother as my kids haven't reached puberty yet

And who in the world is Jack Burns and what does he have to do with cats???

DP. “Hateful” is sending your pet out to poop in your neighbors’ yards and murder a hundred or so birds and small animals a year. Instead of actually playing with your pet. You outdoor cat people have a really warped sense of entitlement.

It’s a complete myth that Fluffy is controlling rats for you. So you can drop the “famously.”

Sweetie. I never said cats control rats. I say they hunt rodents- that includes mice...which your link says they do control. Your anger is leading to poor reading comprehension.

Did I ever say I had outdoor cats? Nope! I just object to people who are dying to kill cats...which I think is what "just give me a reason" means. Not sure again b.c it's such a dated reference.
