1. IS there a moral high ground?

2. clearly, there is no middle ground here.
I have an inside/outside cat who comes inside to use the litterbox. She rarely leaves my porch or back yard - and she can't fly so she has problems catching birds.

She does catch rats though. I'd rather have a rat carcass littering my beautiful yard than a rat litter.

4. I think #3 is the middle ground.
Keep cats indoors and nobody gets hurt, everyone is happy

13. My spayed, collared cat stays "near" the house
that's good enough. Fortunately most of my neighbors are neighbors. If there was a problem with my cat being destructive they would say something and I'd take pains to restrict her.

If I just had a pissy ass neighbor who had a bug up his ass about cats or about harrassing me by disappearing my cat, someone would get hurt.

Fer sure.

9. Well, considering that both of my cats live in a fourth floor apartment
with no balcony, they haven't been outside in close to a year.

I do however think that anyone who condones killing a cat for being a cat lacks any moral standing at all.

3. my vote is for...
those that say they will kill others pets just because it makes them happy to frustrate and annoy a liberal.

</sarcasm>

6. The people who THINK they have the moral high ground are the first group
The ones who actually do are the third group.

8. "Love is blind" isn't just an excuse for ugly people to screw
It truly can fuck with perception of reality

11. I say
Only CATS have the moral high ground. Bipeds are inferior beings. Or so my cats say.

12. Hehehe.
They've got you brainwashed. They'll do that you know. It's the purring, it hypnotizes the unsuspecting.
