I’m sorry I might sound like a madwoman for going on a rant about this but man, it’s…
I don’t know how to express it but just the thought of some person, 120 years ago, taking a photo of their cat, which back then wasn’t easy - they didn’t have phones with cameras, each photo required a lot of time and dedication, so not only the person “wasted” a whole photo on their cat, they also did their fricking best to save this photo and carefully put it into an envelope to preserve it so that people in the future will know that there was this cat and it looked like this and it’s owner thought the cat looked lovely that day so much that they decided to take a photo of it and then they loved the photo so much that they went out of their way to preserve it for future generations like “hello people from the future! this is what my cat loos like!” because they loved their cat so much they wanted people from the future to know about it is… crazy to me… and here we are, 120 years later, long after the cat and it’s owners passed away, looking at an old photo of a cat and gushing about it. The cat died so long ago and wouldn’t even know it existed if not for the owner that loved their cat so much that they decided this photo was worth preserving and put it into a time capsule. and seeing now how people dedicate whole blogs to their cats and take countless pictures of them just to show to other people really hits because you realize that in the end, people from today aren’t that much different from people that were 120 years ago. We all just love our cats and want people to look at them.
I bet this woman was imagining the photo may be seen by like… a family some day. But no. It survived till the age of the internet. It has now transcended the original media. It is now being seen by far more eyes in far more places than the media she chose would normally allow.
I hope the taker of this 120 year old photo is PROUD.
idk who in our system followed that weirdcore/traumacore blog, but lowkey kinda upset about it because they recently started posting straight up images of people with guns / old photos of terrorists and i had to unfollow. not a vibe. dont appreciate seeing it.
Because of science and statistics. Outdoor cats live shorter lives and die crueler deaths than indoor cats. That's not a matter of "differing opinion" it's a conclusion based on observable evidence. The "differing opinion" is based on arrogance and refusal to change behavior to improve your husbandry
It's hard for a lot of people to hear, because if you have had outside cats a lot of your life it's very heartbreaking to hear something that seems to say that you abused your animals, especially if you really loved them.
Also a lot of us as kids had outside cats and we didn't have any control over their living conditions, but it still creates much guilt.
That's not the point though. The point is that culture changes and we know more and have a better ability to do right by our creatures, and we can do Our Best now just as we did Our Best in the past.
Many people are not conscious of cats being non-native predators, don't think of them as invasive species because they were never told that. It's fine to not have known something.
It's also fine to not have known that cats can thrive indoors and they don't need to go outside unsupervised to be happy. There are very common myths about how cats can't be trained and how cats don't get enriched by interaction by their owners that dogs do.
With that said—it is a good idea to keep cats inside. I grew up with outdoor cats and had so many of them get gruesome injuries or diseases and die very young. There is the occasional lucky cat that makes it a long time, but most outside cats die well before their time. They get in fights with other cats, they get mauled by dogs, they get hit by cars, they get all sorts of worms and other parasites, and they get poisoned or shot by malicious people who don't want cats on their property. One of my childhood cats, I found under a bush with her guts ripped out. Things like that happen to the cats that "disappear."
These things can happen even to a smart cat. You can't be sure your neighborhood is safe. Your neighbor two doors down might get a Husky tomorrow that mauls cats. A drunk driver might tear through your otherwise quiet neighborhood.
Your cat doesn't have a cell phone that they can call 911 if something is trying to kill them. They can't yell "Help me!" if they are stranded somewhere with a broken back or some horrible injury.
A cat isn't thinking, "I'm confident that I can deal with all the dangers out here!" when it goes outside. Cats roam around because instinct makes them feel that it's a good idea to maintain a big perimeter of territory, not because they necessarily like doing it. They don't know what a disease is. They just catch a disease and they know that they hurt and feel awful, and sometimes they die.
For all these reasons I think the choice that makes sense is to keep your cats inside when you can't supervise them or keep them in an enclosed space. They're animals that don't know what we know, and we have the ability to keep them safe from lots of things. So I think we should.
and these wakeup calls come in waves. I never had outdoor cats, but my wakeup call was learning that declawing isn’t just a matter of ‘cutting the nail off,’ but amputating the entire fingertip. My late cat Oni went 15 years walking on the stubs of her toes because the gruesome realities of declawing weren’t common knowledge when I was a kid. Once we learned better, and committed to not declawing any of our other cats, this set her up to get bullied by younger cats who still had natural weapons she lacked. It’s a sucky situation.
This is like that. We’re brushing the veneer of normalcy off of ignorant animal-keeping practices that have led to short, tragic lives. We’re presented with the opportunity to do better.
Yeah, most of the time I don't think people are maliciously ignorant and I think they care about their animals. I think there's a pressure to not have ever been ignorant about certain things, and it feels like if you're wrong about this thing you're just an awful person forever.
Y'all know how people say that "animal abusers" are unspeakably evil people that have something wrong with them. That's hard to reconcile with the fact that ~40 years ago, everyone you knew raised their animals a certain way, and you're pretty sure they weren't all evil people.
But sometimes you have to be like "I was doing my best then, and I will do my best now, and it's worthwhile that my best now is better than it was then."
People who try to educate others online about this, unfortunately, have had the same conversation 70 thousand times with strangers who often have no desire at all to learn. Which makes it hard to begin every conversation with the same amount of grace.
