Max should not be outdoors unleashed and unsupervised.

Yup. I know cats can do better roaming free than most pets, but that doesn’t mean it’s safe for them, and it’s certainly not safe for the local bird population.

not every cat hunts birds, and in rural areas it’s pretty safe for them to be outside

You must not live in North America, because house cats are about half thr diet of coyotes in the US and Canada.

Well, at least can we let Max take out that one bird in the neighborhood that divebombs everybody waiting for the bus? It’s all black with a bit of red or orange on it’s neck. I don’t mind the pigeons, or the sparrows, or the robins, or the cardinals, or the blue jays, or the crows. They can all live…but lets make that one bird go extinct.

That bird is doing that cause it got eggs somewhere close by. Or they already hatched. Still want to kill it?

Probably a nest up in the corner of the bus stop. The only time I’ve ever been dive-bombed was by some swallows when they had a nest up in the corner of the house’s porch.

100%. Cats are fine, but wild birds are better.

But it’s so cute how he tears apart local bird families!

Yep you should make sure to jump out from behind a bush or tree to make sure your cat stays on its toes the entire time it’s outside.
