Cat Wars: The Devastating Consequences of a Cuddly Killer

[Beanz]

I think it depends on where you live, Beanz. I hit a cat while driving my car one day. It literally freaked and jumped into it and bounced right off. That haunted me and I pray it was okay. Due to the nature of the road I could not stop but did a circle and nothing was there. It could have been badly hurt. I have seen dozens of roadkill sightings, cats and dogs mostly, but also baby deer. I am not religious but I say a few words expressing my remorse that they have had to die like that.

An oudoor cat is more likely to die young as compared to a fully domesticated cat and it is true that they like to kill. It is their nature and I don't blame them for that though. Certainly out here with apartments it is not practical to let a cat out. Instead I make play time and just try to keep her active with new toys. You have to take them away though as at 2am you get the mewling outside your door with some green worm like green fluff sitting there and her big round eyes looking up at you.

No, I wouldn't want her prowling around here. The area is full of cars and I couldn't bear the thought of something happening to her. I get paranoid even leaving windows open despite them having metal mosquito/bug netting. I read a story about John Lennons cat leaping from the New York apartment window to its death. Heartbreaking.

Yes I can see in an apartment block is different to here out in the suburbs on the edge of the city, loads of woods etc for them to roam and explore. Still seems a bit like caged birds. Caged birds that people put in front of windows is just taking the piss. "Oooh look you can't go there into the great wide open"

I wouldn't let a cat out in South Korea either lest she become bulgogi
