Not sure he deserves all that responsibility, especially since it comes with sharp claws. Maybe best to keep the cat at home.

I wholeheartedly agree! I have a dog and a cat. My cat has never, nor will she ever set foot outside. Cats belong indoors. Don’t get an animal if they are going to be outdoor animals. PERIOD

I mean, if they are spayed and only partial outside do you still feel so vehemently against it?

Stray cats easily cause small scale ecological disasters that stack on top of each other and can seriously impact a lot of ecosystems.

The thing about cats is that they have such strong prey drive, they will hunt anything and everything pretty much 24/7 (raccoons can be quite similar). They’ll hunt for game like humans, so when there’s more cats than prey around it can easily cause big issues
