I love cats but I firmly believe that they should not be allowed outdoors in urban neighborhoods.

Why? Cats keep the rodent population down, which is a good thing. They do their best hunting at night, when the rodents are about.

Outdoor cats are more likely to contract disease, get injured or killed. Also, contrary to popular belief, not all cats are hunters. Unless the cat’s mother teaches it to hunt, it won’t hunt. If it should catch something, it would be accidental, and chances are the cat won’t know what to do with it.

should not be allowed outdoors in urban neighborhoods.

Why?

Because the streets in urban neighborhoods are littered with dead cats that have been killed by vehicles.........

When it comes to avoiding traffic, cats are just as dumb as squirrels..........
