I love cats... just hate litter boxes. I'm not a outdoors cat type person either. Those people should be flogged with my neighbor that mowed his lawn at 7am this morning.
 
I've just rescued a gorgeous cat off the street. I fed him since June daily, got to know him a bit first. I couldn't stroke him for a month. I did a flea treatment 2 weeks before bringing him home and another one yesterday. Had wormer too. Turns out he's the most affectionate cat Ive ever had. Do it properly or don't do it. Pets need care as well as love.
 
According to the poll everyone is in agreeance that I should adopt the kitty, drown it in the bathtub, then eat it. :eyesmoke:

I dont see anything wrong with an outdoors cat, iv had mine outdoors for 2 years, she dosent leave she has 3 acres to run around and do what ever the hell she does, as far as im concerned shes acts just like a indoor cat....besides bringing up a chipmunk or lizard here and there lol
 
Keep the kitty. Give it lots of love and affection. Make your mother feel completely beholden to you for taking one in. Use it as leverage. There's no reason not to turn this lemon into lemonade. :p

Cats that are allowed to roam free outdoors are predators. Predators that are not part of this ecosystem and that local fauna have no defense against. Every time you let that cat out it kills a local inhabitant. Cats are an introduced species. A rather destructive one. Keep your cats inside, folks.

Cats kill 480 million birds each year in the United States. They are responsible for 33 species extinctions.

cats have been around for thousands of years if they were eating 480 million birds a year they would have been extinct a long time ago, my cat cant even catch a bird, trys but fails

Once again, they are an introduced species. They don't belong here. They've only been here for about 400 years. Your cat is quite capable of catching a fledgling or a first year juvenile. Read the link I provided in my previous post.

No kidding. I hate that. Every couple of years or so we have to trap feral cats that take up residence in some of our out-buildings. They are murder on the local wildlife.
 
Not to mention the ground squirrels, rummaging through peoples trash cans, amphibians, lizards, other small animals, shitting in other peoples stuff. Not to mention nothings worse than seeing all the dead kitties in the road because the owners weren't responsible enough.
 
I seen the artical, but the artical you posted is on feral cats.


"A domestic cat that has reverted to wild, unsocialized behavior, or a descendent of such a cat. Feral cats live without significant human contact and they are not socialized to interact with humans. Their behavior is generally wary, fearful or aggressive depending on the situation. Feral cats are most frequently found in urban and suburban areas, though breeding populations of feral cats can occur anywhere.

Feral cats are believed to be responsible for hundreds of thousands of bird deaths annually"
Thats what a feral cat is

Theres a difference mine is anything but feral, nor does it run around the neighbor hood dropping dueces

Yes these are about feral cats but every time you let your domestic cat outdoors. A meat eating predator. A predator that doesn't belong here. It is killing something.

Here is an article on domestic cat predation:

Yeah if you don't want it then give it to the pound (kittens always get adopted first) or like srhx said, kitten in a box at a popular grocery store always works too, and yes leaving it by itself to catch bugs is called animal abuse.


Also, I think your mom is becoming the cat lady, so watch out for that.
