    Barn cats are peak cat. You get to play with them outside, they eat rodents, they don’t come inside and ruin everything.

      Yeah, fuck the local wildlife if it means you don’t have to deal with the hair of your pet being on your couch.

        Do you get upset about the coyotes and bears that live outside? Do you get upset some people avoid homes filled with pet dander, and their petless homes are cleaner than others?

          This is the worst argument I’ve ever heard in defense of outdoor cats. Granted, there are zero legitimate arguments for outdoor cats, so managing to find such a shitty reason is actually kind of impressive.

            I cannot care less, pets are a luxury. Enjoy your fuzzy furniture. Farm animals live in a barn.

          No, because they are not hunting bird and small animal species to extinction.

          They’re also part of the native ecosystem so anything they do kill is generally for subsitence, and not impactful to the ecosystem they’ve existed with for thousands of years.

          Barn cats just kill for fun.
