This is Sad

[Python]

I'm sorry but why not keep your pet cat indoors or confined to your yard using whatever safe and humane method it takes?

Both loose housecats and feral cats can be pests, destructive to wild habitat (songbirds, native small animals and reptiles, etc), dangers to other cats (ask anyone who has had their cat killed by another cat), and traffic hazards to cars and bikes.

If you love your pet, keep it safe.

Over here in the UK most cats go out. I have a lot of cats, most of them go out but stick mainly to our own back garden (we have a large back garden) and our street is very quiet. We also back on to a large area of woodland so we're quite lucky in that respect. Our cats catch a lot of vermin - of which we've got a prolification of so they do a good job in that respect as vermin are carriers of disease.

This little cat got killed in town in a fairly busy traffic area. Now whether it was a cat that was allowed outside or a cat that escaped I don't know and I doubt if I'll ever find out.

A cat's basic instinct is to be free.
