Cats eradicate all life. They certainly keep cat-haters away from me, which is the same thing really.
FTFY. It's not an opinion, it's a fact. Insects, birds, geckos, mammals, basically anything that moves that they can take down.

I do like cats, but I wouldn't let them outside, they totally destroy things.

Mine are all indoor cats, with access to an enclosed balcony :) Go preach somewhere else.

I think you may mean Go and preach somewhere else.


1. There are other people on this forum apart from yourself. It's understood by most that what is posted is also for others' consumption.
2. Insects, lizards and geckos frequently come inside houses, so they will get killed there, too.

My cat chatters to the birds. She doesn’t chase or catch them.
Despite what angsta states, it’s clear from reading through his posts that angsta supports the free FreePalestine movement.

Call me crazy, but I pet a mouse. Yes, one of those small, brown ones with the grayish belly, which are everywhere around here. I love mice and since I was a child I wanted to have one, but my parents were strict against it, worried that I would loose interest and they have to take care about it. Here it was quite simple: put up a life trap, put a piece of whatever eat able in it and wait for an hour. Actually, that got me a rat, but the second attempt was successful
Driving on Cambodian roads is just like playing a classic arcade top scroller. The only difference is a force feedback controller, the limitation to only one life and the inability to restart, once Game Over

You are wasting your time. Cats are one of the main vectors for the Toxoplasmosis parasite. In rats this causes a loss of fear of felines, generally leading to their death or consumption. In humans it has a similar effect, leading to a situation where elderly people lose their fear of felines and gradually allow them to take over their environment. Any local wildlife is of a much lesser concern than the Felis catus which becomes a dominant concern. 8-)

My apartment doesn't smell, unless I've been out for hours and it's been closed up, then I may need to open windows and sliding door for a few minutes.
I have three litter trays - all enclosed so the smell doesn't escape.
I use very good quality litter and clean each tray at least twice a day.

If you feel cats shitty quality food, their toilet will smell very bad. However, I feed mine very good quality, grain free food and nothing is bad at all.
I can't STAND cat smell, so I'm the first one to smell it.
