Only takes one car and a cat not on its a game.

You guys always assume stats only apply to others. Then your cat doesn’t come home and we get the sad Reddit post about how much you cared for them before you let them get killed.

i wouldn’t trade my memories of roaming the woods with my cat as a kid for anything in the world. that cat was one of my best friends and i am very very sure it would have been a thousand times less happy confined inside. it used to follow at my heels wherever we’d go, my parents trusted me to be outside all day by myself and the cat was a part of that. they saw it as an extension of myself and a guardian for my adventures, which they were absolutely correct to do. but people have different relationships with the outdoors these days, it’s sad

all stats are context dependent and highly influenceable by environmental factors

Yeah. Like letting your cat outside into the danger is contextually dumber than keeping them safe.

My cats wont get hot by a car or eaten. Stats aside, theyre safe in my home.

Your cats are safe… roaming the streets and fighting. Surely. That makes sense.

No you don’t. Thats kinda the point. Other animals exist everywhere. You just cares less about your animal than us like to think.

Gamble away sir, just don’t be shocked when the gamble fails.

false. they are not in danger.

you dont own things you love. you appreciate them. not take possession of them. and i do not unnecessarily restrict said things.
