It's crazy how it's seen as socially acceptable to "adopt" or "rescue" them and then release them to freely roam your neighbourhood as an invasive species.

There are a handful of kitties in our neighborhood and fuck, they make me so nervous any time they're even remotely close to the road. As far as I know they're all housed, and the lady a few doors down to me said, "just tell him to go home and he will!" If I see him on the wrong side of the road I pick his ass up and put him back in his yard.

My cats stay inside. We've let them out on the deck (supervised) but the rule is if one single toe bean leaves the deck, it's inside time.
