If you live in an apartment, just don’t get one

Reasoning edit: pets, especially cats, will leave a smell all over furniture. Cleaning becomes an even worse chore due to the fur. They also require “house training” in order to not chew/claw/destroy most stuff that’s lying around the house.

    Upvoted because I do disagree, where else they gonna go?

    cats outside are a menace, for example. Responsible thing to do is keep them inside.

      From the amount of “cats are dangerous if outside”, it’s starting to sound like we are the only thing keeping them from destroying environments, after introducing them

        Absolutely. Plenty of evidence for that.

        Though I’m not a fan of the collective responsibility for choices which happened outside of the time and space you and I exist in.

        I’ll take responsibility for my cat.

        Yep. They are adorable fuzzy little psychopaths. So we have to be the adults and look out for nature as well as them…
