      It’s really both. Eventually cat will get into an accident, but on the way there it will take a whole bunch of smaller animals and birds with it.

      This works for people with empathy who care. The former works for people who are selfish. Both are good to tell people. One may work where the other doesn’t.

        birds are annoying and eat herbs in my garden, my cat eats slightly less of the garden and provides me with entertainment and bird removal.

          The birds do a lot more for you than just eating herbs in your garden. You just aren’t aware of it, until they’re gone at least. Stop thinking you’re more important than the ecosystem.

          You can use netting to keep them off or your garden or just grow enough to have enough after they need or both
