there are also ways to let cats have outside time safely besides free roaming, if you think its absolutely necessary for yours. you could try harness training, or try to build an enclosure to let your cat have supervised, safe outdoor time. It doesnt need to be free roaming.

Sometimes the news is actually hilarious.

#cats #animal death #harness training will probably work best if you start while the cat is young or have a chill cat or one who is highly food motivated #and reward responsive. and its not going to be like walking a dog. you shouldnt need to drag it around.#and generally its still easiest to keep them inside #one tip i have for dealing with door darting is to transition them to indoor only if you move house #bc i think mine had spent so long going out that they felt that out there was a rightful part of their territory or whatever #and felt unjustly cut off. but when we moved. they never went out in the first place and were like well. the house is simply my entire #territory. i dont need to worry about Out There #theres still some curiosity of course but they never door darted like they used to in the first house #shadow has just. gotten into the garage a couple times #and then when they stopped darting that helped immensely bc part of the problem was like. no one else in my house was putting in the effort #to stop the door darting cos they didnt give a shit and thought i was just being overly anxious. which of course did make me more fucking #anxious bc no one else fuckign cared. but whatever
