    It breaks my heart with how many irresponsible pet owners there are. There’s no good reason to let your cat outside. People who can’t accept that shouldn’t have cats.

      Not all places in the world have coyotes. Some places are safe for cats. I don’t have cats, but there are several out-doors cats where I live that seems to be doing just fine.

        Until they get hit by a car. Or wander into the wrong yard and get killed by a dog. I see more dead cats on the side of the freeway/highway than any other animal by far.

          I would give the benefit of the doubt to the commenter and say they are probably talking about somewhere deeper into the countryside
