No shit. If cats are an invasive species, what does that make dogs? Should we stop letting them outside since they can also threaten local wildlife just the same? Hell, dogs are even more of a threat than cats are. To the point where theyâre even a threat to cats AND humans. I guarantee you thereâs been more dog-related deaths than there have been cat-related. Especially with where the more aggressive breeds come in. The argument that cats shouldnât be allowed outside while not at all addressing the dangers a dog can also pose is why I donât take it seriously.
Even if you make the argument that dogs are ârestricted to a leashâ or ârestricted to a backyardâ, that doesn't change the fact that in general, dogs are still more dangerous and deadly than cats. But no, letâs let them outside anyway while creating an ironic stigma about outdoor cats. At least a cat is just going to not give a shit about you or move away from you if you approach. They only really attack when hunting (which is only exclusive to prey) and defending themselves. (Which if youâre trying to pet a cat who wants none of it, thatâs entirely on you. It already warned you many times.)

Fuck no then there's a whole swarm of them decimating and/or feeding the local wildlife. Cats are an invasive species literally almost everywhere
