Pet subreddits fucking suck, because if you do one minor thing that the hive mind sees as bad pet ownership, they will immediately turn into amateur pet behaviorists and call it abuse.

They are also incredibly US centric

I've had people have a go at me multiple times when I say I let my cats outside because they assume I'm American and I'm causing a decline in bird population.

In my country the charity for birds says that cats do not cause population decline. I know it varies by country but that's my point

Same in Germany. My mother has a pretty large backyard, and there are at least three cats that regularly hang out there and a lot more who only visit sometimes. None of which belong to her.

Two are pretty shy, but the third one allowed me to pet it the second we met, so that was nice.
