      time to get rid of cars then

      also, you let your children play outside? how terrible!!! they might be hit by a car! be a responsible parent and lock your child up so they are not exposed to any danger ever

        If the child is not old enough to understand what a car is and that it’s dangerous and moves fast and what roads are and to keep off them then yes, don’t let the kid outside unless supervised.

        Cats don’t and can’t understand any of that.

          Cats are smarter than you think. Sure, they won’t be looking both ways before crossing the street. But they will know which streets are too dangerous to cross and they can usually hear incoming vehicles using those pointy things on top of their heads called ‘ears’.

          Now if you live close to a very busy street I can understand you want to keep your cat inside. However, I live in a more rural area where people drive more cautiously and it’s really fine to let cats roam freely.

            I’ve seen a lot more cats flattened on the roads than I have toddlers. In either case, I keep mine inside.

              I’ve seen neither, again it depends where you live. Rural areas are pretty safe for cats
