To honor cats on the International Cat Day, DW encourages their human companions to protect the planet we all share. From carbon pawprint to waste to wildlife, it is in our hands to take up better practices.
Your cats sweet purring and loving, contented looks wont change the fact that its guilty for the planets suffering just like we are.
A recent study confirms that pets meat-based diet has a fatal impact on the climate, due mainly to high carbon dioxide emissions. In addition, our loyal friends are big resource consumers and waste creators. The situation is particularly worrisome considering the paradigm shift in the human-pet relationship in emerging economies such as China. Moreover, cats that go or live outdoors eat urban wildlife, particularly newborn chicks. Environmental groups are calling for an to end this vicious cycle. So is it possible to love and respect your pet, while still protecting the planet? [ ]
Cats tend to kill weak and sickly birds, so it is not clear whether cat predation replaces other forms of death, or is in addition to natural death, Sarah Elliott, central veterinary officer with Cats Protection, said in a press release. [ ]
Reducing the CO2 emissions is more of a challenge. A vegetarian diet is not an option for a cat. Owners can, however, switch to organic feed which supports biodiversity and reduces pollution since it avoids pesticides and more environmentally friendly packaging. They can also avoid using hot water for cleaning the litterbox and above all, buy compostable cat litter.

Screw GW.
The problem with cats is they kill birds and they sh!t in vegetable gardens.
High carbon dioxide emissions...
where only 0.04% of the atmosphere is CO2 (there's 23 times as much Argon)...
and 90+% of all of the CO2 that IS in the atmosphere comes from natural sources (soil, oceans, animal life)...
But raising meat for food is "fatal"...
SMH
Call me old fashioned,but I do not fit in to this society which is certifiably insane. Liberalism is a mental disorder to the highest degree and is more of a threat than any one thing they b*tch about. It does not help that Koranimals are their new best friend who NEVER have to adhere to Libtardism.
We should shame all liberals into killing all of their dogs and cats. Then they would be even more miserable than they are now.
Very true.
Stop iron oxidation...it robs the atmosphere of oxygen..we will soon suffocate..stop lightning....it causes fires which increase CO2...stop cooking food...if using carbon bases fuels it will increase CO2...if not...cooking organic material can increase carcinogens....stop radioactivity in soil and water...stop cosmic rays...stop time...letting it go on leads to disorder and death

Oh so now they are saying pets are contributing to Global Warming B.S.
Four Elements.... There are 4 elements necessary for the cycle of life.
That is the Sun light, Water, Oxygen and Carbon Dioxide.
Carbon Dioxide is at record low levels too.
These Globalists are completely insane!
As far as that other thing, my cat's first wedding anniversary is coming up and these idiots will not spoil it with their stupidity.
Some people might have thought I was referring to Marie, now of Fox News after working for John “F’n” Kerry.
Oh just STFU and FOAD, you miserable tyrannical bitches.

Our cat — really my husband’s pet — spends most of the day outside on a tether like a dog, and he is perfectly happy with it.
Regarding who is the boss: A favorite napping place of the cat boss in our house is the husband’s chair. (BTW, I have convinced kitty not to sleep on any of the other upholstered material in the house, especially my chair.)
I need to remind the husband of who is in charge when he asks of the cat, “Why are you in my chair?”. As far as the cat is concerned, it’s kitty’s chair, and he allows my husband to sit in it when he wants a warm lap.
Sounds like you dodged a bullet. That coulda been you.
LOL! Was thinking the exact same thing.
Talk about your hairballs!
Interesting. Would that be two-stroke or four-stroke diesel?
