trust goons to think that cats, which are animals that sleep 18 hours a day and only really require food and to be let outside once in while, are high maintenance

ewe2 posted:counterpoint: had a cat who LOVED belly rubs, occasionally he wanted to play-bite but I'd just stop the rubs, so he learnt to stop with the biting. He'd stretch and do jazz paws That is why I specifically said there were exceptions who like that. In the post you quoted.

Just to clear up a point. Cats do not need to go outside Cats should not be allowed to go outside Your cat is not unhappy to be inside. Your cat is a little furry genocide machine that murders the local wildlife and vastly shortens it's life with every trip outside.

Same but I don't let my cats outside because the world outside kept murdering my cats, so I don't let them outside because I'd rather lose them to old age or sickness than to a fucknugget with an rear end in a top hat of a dog or a dipshit who can't watch where he's driving  Two in two months is... just too many too quickly.

Cat Army
|
I live in an apartment was in a city. Cats never go outside and don't seem to care. I think the younger one might not even be aware there is an outside. A few years back we rented a cabin and took the cat with us. One night we had him in a leash by the door open we could chill on the deck. H wriggled out of it and could've escaped into a wilderness filled with tasty birds. He chose to go back inside and lounge on the stairs in a very awkward position.

datajugend posted:people actually keep their cat inside 24/7? woah. maybe if you live in a city in a apartment, but woah Cats are probably more capable on their own than dogs are, but even wild animals will live longer healthier lives in captivity than they do in the wild, because it turns out the wild actually objectively kind of loving sucks sometimes. In a similar manner, indoors cats live significantly longer than outdoors cats, because an outdoors cat might go out and be fine and have a good time 999 times out of 1000, but then that bad luck hits and they get hurt or die in a preventable manner. It's not fair to them.

PetraCore posted:Letting cats go outside isn't just bad for the ecosystem (since they're very good predators who will hunt for fun instead of out of need) it's bad for them. One of my cats just vanished. Another got out and ate something that was poisoned. Cats get run over, attacked by dogs, hurt by other humans, or just plain get into situations they're not equipped to deal with. Since cats are small it's more than possible to give them an enriching, stimulating environment without ever letting them outside, and that's actually the kinder option for them because surprise! They're not humans! and they're not equipped to handle everything outside! How is this anything different from a dog that’s not a marmaduke?

Burt Sexual posted:How is this anything different from a dog that’s not a marmaduke? Climbing. It's almost impossible to keep a cat inside a yard without specific, expensive netting over the top of the yard to make sure they can't get out, but a wooden fence six feet high will stop all but the most insanely athletic dogs from getting out. Anyway, for some different schadenfreude today, YouTube's content ID algorithms get dumber by the minute. Musician hit with copyright claims over 10 hours of white noise on YouTube Dude makes some white noise soundtracks on his computer, uploads them to youtube, forgets about them, he gets five copyright strikes against the video from other white noise tracks. I also like this little bit: quote:"There's a chance that [white noise is] not actually original enough to be copyrighted, and if it is original enough, then the protection would be quite a low-level protection."

Phanatic posted:That's what barn cats are for. Like, that is their specific purpose. If a barn cat roams too much they're prone to similar dangers, although cars and pet dogs are less of an issue. But those dangers are more acceptable because it's required for the cat to perform their job. You should still take care of your barn cats.

Most cats aren't really obedient enough to just tie them to a leash and take them outside on a walk around the block. My brother keeps trying with his 5 cats and even the most gentle ones will try to run off in random directions so much that they can't really go farther than the front yard.

The cat on our farm keeps the mice away and lets us know when he wants out, he was trained to do his business outside pretty fast because man does a litter box stink up a place, when people say they dont smell its like smokers, they are used to the smell. and yeah cats can die outside, its sad when it happens but thats nature. the cat we had before the current one lived outside 90% of the time and died of old age when he was 15, the old guy wasnt even afraid of foxes, he was pretty big.

All the cats I currently have now have always been indoor cats; my childhood cat used to be an outdoor cat but after the incidents he took the transition to indoor surprisingly gracefully. Probably because he was poo poo at fights and always lost against the actual stray toms  but he was a good housecat.
