“Cat’s aren’t as domesticated as dogs,” it’s true cats haven’t been domesticated as long as dogs, but they’re still a domestic animal.

If you had a wild cat in your house, you’d know the difference. Anyone who works with wild cats can tell you the difference. Even owners of hybrids, like Savannah cats, can tell you how different the part wild cat animal is from a regular domestic cat.

Even if the domestic cats we keep as pets were totally wild, though, that still doesn’t excuse free roaming them. Introducing an invasive species is never okay, so unless you live within the African Wildcat’s native range don’t come telling me “cat’s are wild, so it’s okay to free roam them.”
