My cats are indoors only, in part because I’m worried they’ll be abused/stolen but also because they are apex predators. I’ve seen them even just playing and they’re… Brutal. I have literal scars from them ‘playing’.
But they’re happy. And safe. It’s OK for them to be indoors cats if I just keep them stimulated. They have zoomies, they get a bit shitty at times but they’re fine.
One could argue that domestic cats proliferation throughout the world is from human action as well. Their natural habitat certainly wasn’t the south of Wales before we stepped in and took them all over the world for them to evolve into different types. My understanding is that most house cats evolved from desert dwelling cats.
Domestic cats are the second largest source of exinction globaly, after human action

Yeah, but its not as good a soundbite. Rats are #3 and they spread by humans too
