lol be interesting if tani takes in this tabby 8D; altho if he's the 'cat collecting old man' it prolly would be too much if every stray followed him home versus him setting up something , but seems like ppl don't rly care/do anything about strays other than like neuter and release so i guess they don't consider them too 'invasive' even tho some ppl are uptight about 'outdoor cats' (tho 'balance of nature' discussions outside i'm surprised anyone would trust their pet to go out on their own as opposed to on a leash versus just a backyard b/c most cats def wouldn't come back if called/run off if they hear loud car noises and dogs but i don't live in an area where you could just see cats chill)
Putting cats on leashes is weird af, must be an american thing.
My family has owned many outdoor cats over the years, I can tell you they didn't last more than a year or two. Poison, diseases, they catch all kind of stuff out there and we never see them again next morning. On the contrary, the last pair of cats they've adopted are still alive... 15 years later. But they're indoor cats only.
In my opinion, if you have a huge house (more than 150 m2), keeping your cats in will definitely make their lives longer. Don't do that in small apartments though, it's abuse!
