        I also hate cats because no matter how much you try to hide it, your house smells like cats and cat litter 😂

          I guess you only met cat people who never air out their house and/or don’t clean the litter boxes frequently enough. Also cats don’t smell nearly as much as dogs, they literally wash themselves constantly. Which does make them smell like their (terrible) breath for a few minutes but it doesn’t stay.

          And no, I’m not just used to the smell, I’ve lived with and without cats for long periods of time, and have experienced the terrible smells at some people’s houses (and never at some others, even though they had several cats)

      Cats need to eat quite often. They usually (wild ones or the ones living outside) need to hunt 10 to 20 times a day to get all the food they need. So cats which were excited about hunting, had a better chance of staying alive. It’s not that they “kill wildlife for sport”, it’s their biology which helped them survive.

        Yes but we’re talking about domesticated cats that are fed all the food they need and who people decide to unleash on their local ecosystems
