He Allows His Cat Outside At Night To Kill Local Animals And Believes It’s Natural, But His Neighbor Is Threatening To Report Him And Have His Cat Put Down
This guy has a 3-year-old male cat who is a really great pet. Apparently, the cat spends most of its day seeking out his attention and sleeps with him most nights for at least a couple of hours.
“My cat has never harmed a person, except for our play fighting during the day, in which he may scratch or bite playfully,” he said.
However, his cat does have one questionable tendency. Since he allows the pet full access to the outdoors at night, his cat continuously brings him “treats” after hunting.
His cat has brought back moles, mice, voles, squirrels, chipmunks, birds, and rabbits into his home.
Most of the time, his cat will just leave the animals outside. But, there have been numerous occasions where the cat has brought the poor animals inside and chased them around his house.
Still, he actually doesn’t mind his cat doing this.
“I don’t have an issue with this, as my cat is only doing what nature has instructed him to do,” he explained.
His neighbor, on the other hand, is not okay with it whatsoever. She started complaining about his cat’s behavior causing her “great harm,” although he isn’t quite sure what she means.
He also doesn’t know how to fix his cat’s behavior aside from “neglecting” his access to go outside at night.

“I explained to her, the neighbor, that my cat is only doing what nature has told him to do,” he said.
Still, she doesn’t care about that and has threatened to call the local authorities on him in order to have his cat put down.
“None of these animals are on her property,” he vented, “But she feels that my cat is a threat to the local environment.”
So now, he’s been left wondering whether continuing to allow his cat to hunt in the neighborhood makes him a jerk or not.
Couldn’t his cat catch parasites and other illnesses if it keeps doing this? Aside from that, do you think his cat needs to have access to the outdoors at night? Or could he just keep his pet inside so his cat and the other animals in his community can thrive? What would you do if you were in his shoes?
