#theres ppl whove said this better than me but like. my two cents......

i get rly stressed out when i see pics of like. dogs or cats roaming around with collars that appear to not have any identification other than “hi im catte im not lost just exploring” bc outdoor cats and dogs are such Bad Bad Ideas not only for the pet themselves (they could get hurt or attacked by other animals, hit by a car, etc) (yes even if your pet is “”street smart”” and youve had other “successful” outdoor pets before like..... why take the risk at all??)  and the local wildlife (cats are honestly natures perfect killing machines) and like??? 

what if your pet is Legitimately lost??? or gets hurt??? how is someone gonna contact you??? why even RISK the fear of your pup not ever coming home again? 

if you want your pet to Have Adventures take them on a walk (yes, even cats!! if theyre willing ofc) or if theyre bored inside give them more enrichment stuff like toys or cat towers or etc!!!!! go to a dog park or the beach or smth!! laser pointers exist!! teach them tricks!! i spent literally 10 seconds typing in cat/dog enrichment in youtube and i got Numerous Results

Literally Anything but letting yr friend roam around unsupervised..... please.......
