> cats are deadly to many smaller species that's why if you're against that then you shouldn't get a cat at all.

Many people who have cats do so by adoption of strays found in their area so not getting a cat is the same as letting a cat roam free in that area without a safe space and consistent food source.

The whole "prisoner" argument seems so dumb to me when we've already decided as a society that it's in the best interests of society to neuter/spay as many cats and dogs as possible to prevent an explosion in the stray population. Do you think we shouldn't do that because you wouldn't neuter/spay yourself?

If they are strays why would you want to force them to be inside? I really don't get you.

We can have both desexing pets and letting them roam free. No need to force them to live inside.

The point is that you're ok with forcing them to be desexed but not forcing them to live inside. Why?
