If you live in North Africa or the Middle East where domestic cats originated I’m open to this argument. Though I’d want to look at ecological research for those areas in particular because cats kept by humans still aren’t going to go through natural predator-prey cycles so my guess is they’re still an ecological threat.
If you don’t live there, cats are not native to your area and this line of argument has no founding because they are an invasive species to your area.
100% agreed, my kitties love their outside time. They go out into our fenced yard in harnesses with pretty long leads to explore around. ♥️
Don’t let your cats wander freely, it’s terrible for local wildlife. And if they’re anything like the cats in my neighborhood, they’re terrorizing other cats that are responsibly kept inside.
For all you know a neighbor is about to put out a trap to capture your cat and take it to a shelter. I know because I’m about to do that for the two cats that keep trying to attack my cats through our windows.
Yeah the Greenland one is out of place here. It looks like the coast of Greenland isn’t colored, acknowledging prior human presence. But the interior is colored? I’m sure the people there knew there was land over where they could look and see more land. Just because it was inhospitable doesn’t mean it was unknown.
