I may be worthless without you

I had to diagram to Argo how good and how bad he is. He still has some work to do.

I LOVE it and I did one too. As you can see when she is good, she is very, very good. But when she is bad, she is eating teacup yorkies.

as you can see, sivi is 100% evil

aaaaand from another angle so u can be sure i’m not hiding any good attributes

the only good in Luna is the very tips of her tail and ears, which are her only good features

Everyone should add their pets!

Beadie’s a bad little binch

Pod is awful, while Chico is mostly a good egg

sage is mostly a good boy but has a bit of naughtiness in his toes (that he hardly ever uses)!!

I don’t have a dog or a red marker but I do have some good boys

Hehe why is just the back leg bad on the one cat child?

he doesn't like his butt scratched

Hmmm, brindles don’t really work well with enamel designs…do they? Every colour has to be separated by metal :/

Speaking as someone whose parents and family members still refuse to be persuaded to keep their cats inside, if your cat dies as a result of being allowed to roam freely, whether hit by a car or killed by another animal or disease or whatever, that’s 100% on you. The owner of the cat is responsible for the death of that animal as surely as if they killed it themselves because it was completely preventable. This makes people upset to hear, but you can’t claim to love something in one breath and then completely abandon them to the many dangers of the world in the next. If you love your pet you do everything in your power to keep it safe.

We need to keep saying “what happens to an outdoor cat is 110% the owners fault” until owners realize this. That person who hit the cat probably already felt horrible and if they couldn’t stop, they couldn’t stop. They didn’t mean “I was too busy, I couldn’t care to stop” they were literally saying “they could not physically stop the car in time to not hit the cat”. It was never their fault, and it wasn’t the cat’s either because they don’t know any better. It’s 110% the owners fault and I’m going to keep saying it until every horrible cat owner puts there cat back inside where it belongs.

Also think about your kids if you don’t care for the cat. How do you think that 9 year old, who didn’t know outdoor cats were bad, felt? They had no idea this would happen because of their ignorant parents. Their parents ended a life and damaged their child’s. This is a traumatizing event for a young child. And it’s so unfair for everyone involved… Except the parent obviously.

Just keep your damn cat inside or do an actual humane thing and just don’t fucking get one.

K all of this makes sense, but cats are meant to roam and play. You SHOULD let your cat outside, at least into the backyard if you feel safer that way, so they can get the excersize they need to live a happy life. Also, this play time ensures that the cat’s extra energy burns (mostly) off and they won’t destroy your belongings because they’re just so. bored. that they scratch things. Train it to walk on a leash if you have to, but let your cats outside.

Although contained outdoor time or walks on a leash are good enrichment they’re not a necessity, cats can thrive without ever being allowed outside in any capacity.

If your cat is bored and destructive inside it’s because you are not engaging in enough interactive play to keep them entertained, it’s because you are not providing them with enough environmental enrichment to meet their needs.

I should be going to sleep but I’m a sucker so I’m going to break this down instead.

Cats require exercise, this is integral to both their physical and emotional wellbeing. Permitting them unrestricted outdoor access can absolutely meet their exercise needs, but it is not safe to do so, and as their caregivers we must balance their health and their happiness instead of choosing one over the other.

The reason there’s this misconception of indoor cats being bored and depressed, which can lead to inactivity and weight gain, or destructive is because cat owners do not play with their cats enough.

Only 64% of the owners in this study played with their cats twice a day, of that a meager 25% reported 10 minute play sessions. It was also reported that the cats with 5 minute play sessions displayed fewer behavioral problems than those with 1 minute play sessions.

Engage your cat! There’s this huge misconception that cats are low maintenance pets, they’re aloof and independent and they’ll take care of themselves and that’s not true! They need more from than to leave out some toys and scoop their box.

Jane Ehrlich, from the cat division of the International Association of Animal Behavior Consultants, recommends multiple 20 minute sessions of real interactive play each day. A key term here is real, behaviorist Pam-Johnson Bennett has an article on proper interactive play with cats, it’s important to be involved and to let them complete the sequence of the kill.

Environmental enrichment matters too! Outdoors your cat doesn’t just get exercise stalking prey [or running from loose dogs, fighting other cats, etc] you’ll often see them climbing trees, atop of fences, and so on.

They need this indoors too! A study at the Waltham Research Center found that after being provided with vertical territory unfriendly behavior increased when the vertical territory was removed, this may be a huge contributor to the problems some experience when trying to bring free-roaming cats indoors for good.

“”Not everyone can do this!”” Interactive play and environmental enrichment are the minimum standards of care for a cat, if you’re unable to meet the bare minimum standards of care for an animal you should not have that pet. You are not owed a cat, you are not entitled to one, if you’re unable to adequately provide for a cat than do not have a cat.

There are people who work full-time jobs, who work multiple jobs, who attend school, who live with mental and/or physical disabilities, who live in small apartments, who have a low income, etc. and are still able to meet their cats needs. I know because many of my followers fall into one, or more, of the aforementioned categories.

Cats are a menace to the environment. This pertains to the persons tags, the damage domestic cats do to the environment is so well documented I can’t believe people still try to deny it. Them again, there are still people who deny climate change, so I guess it isn’t too suprising.

There’s not only the issue of mortality due to predation, but cat saliva is full of pathogens that birds, reptiles, and rodents are sensitive to. Even if a captured prey-item is alert and unharmed to the untrained eye they may still die later as a result of being exposed to these pathogens, as a result of the stress of being predated upon, or as a result of internal trauma that can’t be detected without being seen by a wildlife veterinarian.

The mere presence of free-roaming cats is also known to have sub-lethal effects on bird populations, resulting in parents visiting the nest less frequently reducing the amount of feeding juveniles receive and leaving them exposed to other predators.

You’ll often hear outdoor cat proponents claim it’s feral cats that are an ecological disaster, not their beloved Fluffy, but I’ve broken down before how owned free-roaming cats are far from blameless.

Guys. Can we please *stop shaming people who let cats outside*?

I have lost two cats to cars. It’s agonising. I would love to keep my current cat inside (we ended up with him by accident), but he was miserable when we tried it.

“If your indoor cat isn’t thriving, you aren’t engaging with it enough”

FUCK.

YOU.

My husband and I work full time, and we have an infant. Have you any idea how much work that actually is?

I’d love to sit around playing with my cat all day, but I’m a little busy commuting, working, changing nappies, cleaning, and very occasionally, sleeping.

And to address the last poster, I don’t live in a country with an endangered bird population.

No, we won’t stop shaming people who knowingly engage in bad husbandry or who refuse to accept that their husbandry is bad when informed.

If you can’t keep your cat safe and happy than you should not have a cat. If the cat came into your life unanticipated, and you’re unable to meet their needs without risking their lives, you should rehome your cat.

It is amazing how many people on this post think they should be the exception to the rule because reasons.

You deserve to be shamed because what you’re doing is shameful. Admitting to acquiring and keeping animals even though you can’t provide basic care is shameful. Keeping your pet contained and safe is basic care.

It is baffling to me we are still treating this like an option with cats.

Okay listen, I’m joining this argument because I’m angry- cats 100% should be allowed outside, it’s not up to the time a human can give to entertain it, you have no idea why they have said animal so it is totally not up for you to choose. Let me explain why cats are allowed outside and it is stupidly simple.

They are natural predators.

And if this isn’t enough, cats can be engaged in activities a lot but some of them just don’t have the personality to stay in doors, cause shockingly cats have feelings too. And they don’t deserve to be cooped up.

If you live in the city, get a cat, walk it on a leash, whatever, but cats will usually choose freedom. Here in England if you kill a pet YOU are responsible. Not the owner. It’s not the owners fault for giving a cat some natural freedom, thus I will stop complaining but we don’t yell at everyone if they choose to chain their dogs out back because it’s “where they belong” why are you crying about cats now?

To conclude: no I don’t believe cats should be indoor animals but! You can do what you want with your pet. Like smothering the poor thing with overprotection.

Holy shit. Cats are an invasive domestic species-- if you let your pet outside unsupervised, you ARE responsible for anything that happens to it. Who should we blame when the cat is eaten by predators, huh? Is it the fox's fault that it's being a Natural Predator? Who should we blame when the cat dashes out in front of a car? Is it the driver's fault they didn't wreck their car to save a cat they never knew was there? Yes, cats may want to go outside, but hey, dogs may want to eat grapes and chocolate! Should we let them do that because they have feelings? A feral animal is free to do as it wishes despite the harm to it, but one owned by someone deserves at least some concern toward its well being?? You can't just let an animal out into the wilderness and say it's everyone else's fault if it gets hurt.

nobody is entitled to a pet of any kind, no matter how much they enjoy them. a pet is a Life that you are responsible for, a living being whose health you must account for through diet, environment, physical well being, enrichment- every aspect that could apply to their comfort and happiness. as a pet owner it is your responsibility not only for your pet to survive, but to Thrive. 

wild animals survive. they have hard, short, painful lives with plenty of fear and discomfort-- is that what you want for something you supposedly love so much? if you dont have the means to support them in every way necessary, then you Dont Need that pet. even if its cute, even if you love it so much, its health and safety is more important than that. i love lizards a lot and used to keep them, but after two got sick and couldnt be saved.. guess what.. i dont keep them anymore! because i dont have the time or space to make one happy, even though i love them very much. i had specific fish that i adored, but when they died (through no fault of my own-- under someone else’s care while i was away) i realized that despite how much i enjoyed them, i couldn’t have any right now because they wouldn’t thrive when i was gone. 

your desire for a cute companion is not worth the happiness or life of another being
