Domestic cats roaming in urban settings....

Compared to dogs, cats....well, there's really no comparison. Still, I like most cats. Have had a few, but now with Bravo, couldn't keep another. But the reasons for keeping a cat indoors in urban residential areas far outweigh the usual vapid logic---"little Poopoo is much happier coming and going through her flap in the doors. It's cruel to confine her indoors." Ectoparasites, cat calling all night long, fights, marking neighbor's living areas, predators, etc. On this last item, our foxes and coyotes will take any domestic kitty. And the ospreys and eagles here can grab and fly off with all but the largest ones. Sure, you have a farm in the country, let the mouser do her job. But puleeze, be a good pet keeping citizen.

In Florida outdoor cats get killed by bobcats. It seems that cats are bobcat's favorite food. dunno
A woman I know lost 3 of her cats to a bobcat in the 4 months that I was down there this year.
Other people in the neighborhood also lost cats the same way.

Not to mention cars....the idea that letting cats roam would be ok if they were in their natural habitats but they aren't and so they roam without knowing the real dangers out there...I don't let my cats out because I would rather have them alive than allow them to roam freely where they might get run over.....wave

Cats are part of the urban wildlife now. Generations come and go that have never been inside a house or come within touching distance of a human. When I first needed one for rodent-control, I would set kibble outside. It always got taken, and eventually I "had" a cat.

Isn't that dogs? I've seen them getting skinned alive in China, not a nice view, also I never tried their meat but felt tempted to. It's a traditional dish over there.
