Fun fact about cats: Pedigree breeders have coalessed into a global conspiracy to exterminate all wild AND currently owned cats to gain a monopoly on the cat supply
they pay big money to shelters to go out to exterminate stray cats, as well as do propaganda campaigns telling their owners to castrate their cats, all in the aim to reduced the ammount of cats outside of their breeding farms, with the goal being to have all the cats in the words within breeding programs being sold off as castrated vaccinated and microchiped pets, so that it is impossible to get a cat any other way.
In many countries like australia for example, all cats have to be castrated by law, that's right, every single cat in the country has to be castrated, except the cat breeder's cats, in a generation or two if aussies follow this law, australians will have no other choice than to pay 6000 dollars to buy a castrated and microchipped cat off the shelf if they want one.
>So.... you're telling me crazy cat ladies are going to be millionaires? Crazy cat ladies all get their "fur babies" "fixed" (fixed is the word they use for ripping off the genitals of cats these days)
So if they didn't get their cats "fixed" yes, but in practice they all castrate their cats, and the ones that don't are all probably really old and their cats will all go to a shelter where they will get castrated when they die

Nigger, what? Cats are extremely invasive and utterly shrek local fauna because they're mid-tier predators who get bored and hunt for fun.

Soft prep for chipping your kids >so you chip your cat because you're afraid of losing it but you wont chip your kids?

Good, I shoot the fuckers with pellet guns whenever I see them outside running around. Fuck cats. Fuck anyone who has cats.

Why do all breeder's cats and cats in competition look like dysgenic retards

>Nigger, what? Cats are extremely invasive and utterly shrek local fauna because they're mid-tier predators who get bored and hunt for fun. yeah that's what you've been told
cats have been in america for as long as humans have been, if they were going to hunt beavers to extinction they would have done so 400 years ago when the forests were empty
last time I checked this isn't happening at all, and stray cats live mostly in residential neighborhoods, where there is no "native econosystem" unless you count cockroaches and rats

>Good, I shoot the fuckers with pellet guns whenever I see them outside running around.
>Why do all breeder's cats and cats in competition look like dysgenic retards because pedigree breeds are usually spawned by a single pair
imagine fucking your mother and sister for 60 generations, that's what half the pedigree cats on the market are
Evan Cox
>cats have been in the Americas as long as humans Apex predator types like mountain lions and lynxes and shit, sure, but house cats aren't. People who own cats like that do them more harm than good anyway.
Carson Perry
>Apex predator types like mountain lions and lynxes and shit, sure, but house cats aren't. yes they have, there were cats in europe since before 1776 and all ships carried cats for their ability to eat mice and pest long before we even discovered the americas
and as you mentionned native cats like linxes are even deadlier than housecats so the entire argument is complete nonsense, but for what it's worth there were already tons of domestic european cats being released in the wild in america by the time of the Founding Fathers

And they've fucked up most ecosystems they've been introduced to. It's not as drastic in places like the US due to the high prevalence of predators, but the ecological damage has been absolutely catastrophic in places like Australia and NZ, which had no natural predatory cats. Australia is like the biggest warning of invasive species. Cat breeders are trash, but saying we just need to let cat populations explode for no reason is retarded.

You aren’t one of those “oh no the cats are behaving like cats again” people are you? Here’s a fun fact: ecosystems regenerate. Here’s another fun fact: humans are way shittier than cats when it comes to destroying flora and fauna.
Now if you think some stupid organization is going to do something about all the feral cats running around someplace like West Virginia, not to mention all the domestic cats that are living and loved, on private property...you’re out of your mind.
Some of you seem to have something against cats. Don’t you have a mass shooting to go do?
Anthony Walker
Cats can have up to twelve kittens in a litter, and multiple litters in their lifetime. This means more stray cats that kill random but important shit like birds which throws local ecosystems out of balance and fucks up the numbers of small animals. I love cats but if they’re allowed to breed like crazy they end up everywhere, either alive and killing shit just for fun or dead on the roads. No one is getting rid of cats entirely just for pedigree cats, most cat owners I know and see online don’t even have pedigree cats. Dog owners are the ones that give a shit about whether or not their dog’s mother and father were siblings.

Cats suck as pets. Rabbits are cuddly and smell less.
Wyatt Carter
Yeah, those dodos sure came back strong.
Michael Bennett
>but the ecological damage has been absolutely catastrophic in places like Australia and NZ, which had no natural predatory cats. australia and new zealnd got their ecosystems anihilated by fucking rabbits, at some point you gotta admit some ecosystems are more equal than others
anyways back to the US and back to the argument, it's been 400 years with no change, the environments in the US contain ferral cats and are perfectly stable with the cats

>>NGO cat catchers >where do I sign up next to your stasi office and that place where you usually report your neighbhor, we don't have any of those in france though I think it must be a german cultural thing

Arguing that we should just trash some ecologies just because is the same argument for flooding communities with shitloads of immigrants from countries we just bombed back to the stone age again.
