Nope! Just decided to be a disappearing asshole for 36 hours and come back like nothing happened.

edit: thanks to all for the different perspectives. he is fixed, has all of his shots, and has his own temperature contolled kitty condo (aka the laundry room) that we put him into every night. we have a pretty good network of neighbors and pieced together his activities via security cameras. he's a mouser for sure and that is his job until he decides to retire.

This has got to be the dumbest hill to die on but please keep going lol.

Yeah I probably won't simply because the herd mentality here is not worth my time. I doubt any of you had any experience with harnesses, if not with cats at all.

[-] prettybunnys@sh.itjust.works 7 points 6 months ago

100% I’ve never even seen a cat much less successfully harness trained two of mine.

[-] kurwa@lemmy.world 3 points 6 months ago

First of all, harnesses work to some degree. They aren't perfect but that doesn't mean they don't work at all. I used one on my cat so many times, and he's only almost gotten out of it once.

Secondly, regardless of a harness working or not, that doesn't excuse letting your cat outside all willy nilly, still dangerous.

I'm advocating the exact opposite - don't walk your cats on harnesses and keep them indoors.

[-] kurwa@lemmy.world 1 points 6 months ago

That's fair enough, better to be safe than sorry. If anything, having a nice catio would probably be better.
