ugh this shit makes me so mad - horrible for the cats and for any kids who might have to watch their pet get eaten thanks to their adult family members dipshit behavior
yeah that was me- every single cat from my childhood. never had one live to die of old age or need put down. they all just disappeared. my parents still let their cats outside into the forest and cannot be dissuaded
EXCEPT muldoon! muldoon always came back! muldoon lived to be like 24 or something absurd like that. muldoon once fought a SMALL COUGAR and GOT AWAY. the vet could tell from the bite pattern! hell yes muldoon
I was pretty sure that HAM was coyote chow when he got out, as there was a coyote at the end of the street the next morning, but we flyered and posted on Nextdoor and everything. About four months later, we got a call from a vet about 2km away, and there he was.
straight up if you let your cats wander around unsupervised outside, I don't respect you. coyotes, cars, sociopathic kids... lots of ways they can get maimed and killed. why would you put someone you love at such a risk?
Pet owners shocked at taking their hurt cat to the vet and finding out there's a bb in there and their cat got shot. People are assholes--why would you want to risk your cats with them??
Also cats hunt for fun so they can and will disrupt local ecosystems if left unsupervised. If you really want to bring your cat outside get a harness and leash and out there with them
