On: Yes, You Should Walk Your Cat

[uf]

Sorry, but no: Don't keep cats indoors or on a leash.

Cats are predators. And they need freedom. If you're concerned for birds et al. don't get a cat.

Don't be cruel to cats to satisfy your need for a pet by forcing your view of how nature should work onto them.

Cats are domesticated. They made the indoor outdoor decision a long time ago.

My cat lives more than 50% of its time outside the house. It also can sit for hours on a window sill.

That's stealing, and I don't think cat tastes very good.

Not at all. Where I live if someone's animal is on your property you're absolutely allowed to shoot it. If the owner places so little value on their pets life that they let it run around unsupervised, who am I to place more value on it than they do?
