Cats Will Not Take This Lying Down

[Gawdzilla Sama]

Indoor/outdoor cats typically live shorter lives than indoor only, according to the ASPCA.

And the Wright brothers picked Kitty Hawk because the US government reported that the typical winds there were 15 mph which they calculated as the perfect wind speed for their experiments. They learned the hard way that the reported number was an average because actual winds there were typically either 30mph or 0mph. The moral? Reported 'typical' findings don't always paint an accurate picture nor tell a reliable story.

You were statistically very likely to dismiss that information as you're an indoor/outdoor person.

I'm on the bird's side in this.  There are too many cats plundering the vast habitat which surrounds our dwellings, and there is very little habitat of any value that isn't under our thumb.

Urban birds may have a tough time, but then I've heard proposals to train cats to stalk pigeons in NYC.
