    They brought up how cats disturb the ecosystem and spread disease. You brought up how other animals can disturb people’s capital. These two are not equivalent.

      Cats are natural in many parts of the world.

      The Scottish wild cat for instance came to the UK across a land bridge 9000 years ago.

      This thread is full of people that have probably never left America, regurgitating virtue signalling nonsense that they know very little about.

      I understand that in some ecosystems that pet cats are devastating, but it’s just not true for most of the world.

        There’s an enormous difference in the natural occurrence of native wild cats and feral or roaming domestic cats.
        No one is arguing against native wild cats being around, but against artificially introducing a mesopredator into the ecosystem.
