    No cats should ever be let outside unless you’re watching them the entire time. You can’t know what they’re killing away from you. They’re literally genetically predisposed killers. If you don’t want to keep your cat inside, or outside on a leash or in view at least, then you shouldn’t have a cat. If you think their quality of life will be ruined staying indoors then just don’t own one. It’s easy.

      As I said before I’ve had a cat that literally lay next to a bird without doing anything. Now that’s obviously not normal cat behavior but I would know if my cats were killing animals outside after living with them for years. Some cats are hunters and some not so much. I’ve had both and we kept the hunter inside.

      You can also get a cat bell for their collar which helps if they do hunt.
