    How are cats bad for the environment? Sorry, first time I’ve ever heard someone claim this.

      Cats that are allowed to go outside are an absolute menace to small wildlife. They hunt and kill to play, so no matter how well fed they are they will still do it, and they are quite good at it. This is why only indoors cats are allowed on some islands with a fragile ecosystem

        Fair enough, but I would compare someone who owns a fat lazy cat to rollin coal assholes.

          By roll coal types I mean people who feel indignation when told they’re doing something harmful to the environment. There’s usually a bit of eye rolling involved.
