Igl, Dr ght now it’s pre-coffee AM and I first thought the picture was of a roast chicken (complete with goose neck) running to the right.
You can tell the cat has true freedom because he measures in inches.
An inch is 1/7920 of a furlong! Super freedom!
Heheh fur long

Just like my dad
Almost like it’s in their nature to explore and naturally have territories of up to 10 acres and so are not best suited to being strictly indoor pets

Tell that to my cat. Convincing her that she’s freely allowed to explore the house outside of my bedroom let alone the outside world would give her a heart attack.
She is the most cuddly active playful cat I’ve ever owned.
As long as the bedroom door is shut and everything is PERFECTLY quiet.
Cats are an invasive species and kill over 15 billion birds and small mammals per year. There’s nothing ‘natural’ about that.
Your cats freedom means the ecological destruction of your surroundings. Choose wisely.
This is why I have a harness and one of those extending leashes. I pretty much let him go where he wants on hour-long walks; the leash is just to keep him from genociding the local fauna or running into traffic. It also reduces his urge to sprint outside the moment a door opens.
Funny trying to use a harness with my monster leads to him really trying to get out of the door.
Then I guess your walks aren’t long and satisfying enough for your cat.
You can tell when it’s time to end the walk. They start laying down and don’t protest when you pick them up to carry them back to the car.
‘Invasive’
It’s been five hundred years. Pretty sure this is a pointless distinction by now
Except they are genociding local bird populations…
Our cat is afraid of the corridor
The first time one of our cats got out, she got as far as hiding under the porch until we could coax her back inside.
The next time she didn’t even make it outside. She got into the (unheated) garage and just spent the night there until we found her.
That second night it was -11F (apparently -24C). I don’t blame her for not wanting to go further but it’s still annoying that she chose being out there over all the delicious bribery we left around the house to tempt her back in! (She was fine when we found her and has no apparent lasting issues from the experience, though she hasn’t tried to escape since.)
“I hate birds and small mammals and I want my little prince to be able to murder as much indigenous wildlife as he wants because otherwise I’ll have to provide adequate stimulation like for a fucking dog or something else that requires responsibility”
Thank you. I knew my comment would piss off the smug holier-than-thou types that don’t even realise there exists a world outside of North America 😊
Last time my cat got out he got the crap beat out of him by a raccoon
Still bolts for the door anytime it opens
I’m sorry I shouldn’t be laughing at this, but I can’t stop picturing it ahaha
That’s not even the best part!
My next-door neighbor is a sweet older lady who takes care of the neighborhood’s stray cats (paid to have them fixed and vaccinated) and she leaves a bowl of food out for them
Said bowl of food is also frequented by a family of raccoons, so we have several lazy, well-fed raccoons who have been around lazy, well-fed cats for their entire lives. I’ve seen the two species playing together and eating shoulder-to-shoulder
Long story short, the only way my cat would have gotten into that fight is if he picked it himself, which he 100% would do.
I’d love some pictures of them eating side by side lol
It’s fine to laugh, the wounds have healed and the hole he ripped in the window screen has been patched XD
Each time you’ve played with him since that incident was a part of his training montage for his revenge match. You think he was running from room to room at top speed in the middle of the night for fun?
Eye of the Tiger intensifies
My little guy spent some time homeless before being dropped off at the SPCA shelter. Was there for a month before I adopted him. Every time I open my door, he stares outside, then looks up at me, rubs himself on my legs, then walks over to his food dish.
My cat was a stray too. She has zero desire to go outside. I was holding her once when I opened the backdoor to let the dog out. She must have thought I was taking her outside and flipped out. Scratched the crap out of my neck as she climb over top of me and bolted into the other room.
I had one with a similar story, he taught the rest of my cats that inside is better, and that’s even been passed on to the newest cats even tho he’s not around anymore. Nobody wants to go outside, even on leash.
men with a loving family and 6 figure salary, as soon as they see a cave hole of 0.00025 femtometres called the Devil’s Arse:
This one is a good watch, it’s not the classic caving accident you usually hear. No one died, but they come close
Nothing of value is in those caves
cant beat freedom. maybe his balls are out there just still waiting to be picked up
My cat was feral but didn’t take long and she decided there’s no reason to ever go outside ever again. Well, she will take a few steps outside to roll in the dirt but after a bit of that its straight back inside.
Little ear tipped cat here. She likes window watching, but going back outside? Fuck that she says. Outside stole part of her ear! Inside has blankets and snacks and a human that is a softy and does whatever our kitten heart desires!
My cats sit by the glass storm door and watch me go through it. Not a whisker twitch to move. They are inside only and have no real desire to go out. All my cats have been like that. They are spoiled rotten and know it. Not willing to give up a good thing.
Neth’sin the Eternal Tormenter is afraid of outside, loud wind, rain, and guest. She’s the only cat I had that hates the outdoors.
(Twig snaps a mile away)
Cat: To the bridge of Casadoom!I once saw my cat run like the devil was chasing because a random breeze lifted his fur.
cant beat freedom
