A young outdoor cat

One man's "pet" quickly becomes some else's "pest".
I say the same about dogs that are allowed to run wild too ... in case
you think I am just a cat hater.


In general I agree.

The cats that live outside at my place are much like songbirds that live
outside. I put out a little food because I enjoy watching them lounge around
and do cat-things. They are not lap-cats nor even very catchable unless they
are sick, so no one could define them as "pets."

The "inside" cats are a different matter. The "inside" cats don't go outside
and the "outside" cats don't come in.
