What planet are you all from where this does not ordinarily happen? Because we are set in our ways on planet earth and you're not likely to change us. You might as well accept us for who we are while you are here.

Another apologist. Only irresponsible owners let their cats roam everywhere. They shouldn't whine if something happens to the cat.

I'm not an apologist. Our cat is indoors only. I'm just accepting of life around me -- most cats go outdoors and I don't think my neighbors are less responsible or loving towards their cats than I am toward mine. We have lots of cats roaming freely in our neighborhood. To rail against something as ubiquitous as pet cats roaming outdoors is a bit mentally ill to me. And to insist that people who let their cats out are irresponsible is definitely mental, since you surely know people with outdoor cats who are decent, upstanding individuals, good neighbors and loving, responsible pet owners. And yet you choose to be incensed and pretend otherwise. Weird.

No, I don't know anyone who lets their cats roam. There are neighbors who do but they are not my friends. The owners may be all you say. However if someone chooses to let their cats roam, they are subjecting it to a level of risk that indoor-only cats don't face.
If you can't or won't understand this simple fact then you are delusional. Look in the mirror before throwing stones.

I'm very happy my cat is content to live indoors. It makes me feel like he is safe and sound. However, we live in the suburbs and the cats who roam outdoors are likely safe too -- just more adventurous. By the way you express yourself, you sound like a pill and your opinion about cats is just a reflection of you, not "simple facts."

I stand by what I said. I don't give a rat's behind about your opinions, so feel free to keep speculating about my mental state.

It's pretty shocking to me how many people on this board have openly admitted lack of care for animals.

Lots of cats don't wear collars. My cat is indoor-only and would never let us put anything around his neck. Luckily he is terrified of the outdoors.

OP, lots of people don't bother with neighborhood listserves. You need to be more proactive if you're interested in finding out who owns this cat.

So letting a house cat roam outside -- which is known to threaten both the cat's life AND the lives of hundreds of songbirds, is totally kosher with you? Because that sounds a lot more like someone who doesn't give a crap about animals.
