On April 8 we celebrate the death of Margaret Thatcher, and remember all the lives she destroyed.

My NSFW Catgirls zine.

moment of unspeakable beauty today when one of my coworkers called another coworker "judas" for not splitting a can of white monster with her, and i got to watch the guy who sits next to me open a new google tab, type in "jeudis," and say quietly to himself "french thursday...?"

self-care phrases to boost your confidence

If you want to feel infuriated just look at this Reddit thread. Hundreds of comments supporting outdoor cats and insisting that only crazy Americans keep their cats indoors.

Comments basically boil down to:

I hate UK outdoor cat culture so much 😬😬😬

As someone who's had both outside and i side cats depending on the area I lived in:

People need to learn that not everyone lives in a car nation. A lot of us live in smaller villages/suburbs. No wild animal will get them.

City people have inside cats, obviously, for obvious reasons. Those shouldn't be let outside.

But for some reason people act as if the entire world looks like LA in terms of cars and Australia in terms of dangerous wildlife that can attack your cat.

the post is about you lmao

Cool. And people are allowed to have different opinions as not everyone lives in area's that are risky for cats. Farm cats and village cats just aren't at high enough risks to deny them their natural want to be outside.

Currently have an inside cat. She has no desire to go outside and even if she had, she couldn't.

Not everyone lives in the USA or USA jr (the uk) so having places set up that arent car focussed or have risks in nature (coyotes, wolfs etc.) That could harm their cat.

There is nowhere in the world that is 100% safe for cats to free roam. Cars are not the only thing they are at risk from. Domestic cats are also invasive in every single country and cause massive amounts of damage to native wildlife. There is nowhere in the world where cats can free roam without causing problems.

*This* is why I always say it's stupid how people always make the outdoor cat argument about the safety of the cat. Outdoor cat people get to feel like they have the high ground when they live in a "safe" area if everyone always focuses on the "lol your cat's gonna get eaten by coyotes/run over by a car" part and not the "cats are an invasive species almost everywhere in the world and outdoor cats have driven several bird species around the world to extinction" part.

I also feel the need to point out as always that letting your cats outside is a great way for them to contract FIV by fighting other cats. Unless you already have an FIV positive cat on your home, there’s no way for your cat to get FIV unless you let them outside

and if it's not bad enough that "domestic cats, considered a global invasive species, kill 1.4 to 3.7 billion birds in the lower 48 US states each year alone" (source: X), the current strain of bird flu (avian influenza type A, H5N1) is now infecting cats:

within days of exposure, they're developing "severe neurologic signs and dying. It definitely seems that cats are especially sensitive compared to many other species" (source: X)

add together the vast destruction they cause among wildlife, the diseases they spread, and the dangers they face outdoors, and there's no good reason to let domestic cats outside (unsupervised, at least)
