Not to mention like in Europe multiple species of native small cats are being pushed out and outbred by feral and outdoor cats

Keep your moggies inside for their sake people! Also for, y'know, all the birds and small mammals killed by them and the fact that your pet can pick up some goddawful diseases from being outdoors and still have a shorter life expectancy than indoor ones

    Honestly for me the risk of them getting severely injured in a cat fight or getting hit by a car is enough for them to be strictly "indoor cats" unless they are on a leash with a well fit harness.

    Tbh I can't believe we're at a point where "keep your cats inside they live longer and don't risk infection or injury or death" is straight up not enough to convince people to keep their pets which they love and cherish inside. Like I admit I'm biased - I'm a bird person and my main stake in this argument is the local wildlife. But at the same time...it's kinda ridiculous that people would rather risk all that than bother to entertain and interact with and exercise their cats like you would with most other pets?
