More scientific evidence has surfaced to show that while mittens may be your sweet angel, letting her roam outside is also a big threat to biodiversity.

Yes, and him being outdoors when he wants is part of that change. There were no issues with the previous residence. If anything there are problems with the new residence. The vets and I went through everything for years and nothing came up that could be addressed. We have this under control, the decision is made. The cat is still going to be outside when he wants, and after all this I will now encourage him to try to catch the fucking birds destroying fruit on the orchard trees.

Your feelings got hurt by strangers on the internet so you want to actively try to be the bad cat owner you claim you’re being painted as?

👍 you do you I guess.

Sure, if I’m considered a bad owner despite all my efforts to take care of him well, may as well lean into it. And these birds actually are destroying the crops, so if he doesn’t eat them, we’ll probably start shooting them. And as mentioned in a different reply, none of them here are native, they’re all invasives. So be happy about it. Or don’t. Whatever.

And, again, as mentioned elsewhere, the likelihood this old cat will actually catch any bird is severely low.

I don’t really care one way or another about your cat. You seem very petulant and kind of antagonistic, especially looking through your comment history.

I bet you’re a real treat to be around if this is how you interact with people in person. Thankfully the digital world has a block feature.

Bye bye!

You don’t seem to have actually read anything. I have taken such good care of this cat that my vets are amazed he’s lived this long, much less suddenly doing so much better than he was before. Your opinion is trash.

Feel free to block me, you didn’t have to offer your opinion to begin with. One less asshole replying to me like they know everything.
