Comment on How do I get the damn cat to understand I can feed myself?

Outdoor cats are devastating to the local ecosystem, and have a significantly shorter lifespan than indoor cats.

I have. They don't believe the science. "Cats only kill weak and sick animals". I've given up on it. Can't convince a mind that's made up. But the cadavers are annoying the whole household, so I was hoping for some possible solution that didn't involve getting the friend all wound up.

Unfortunately there are no magic solutions. Corpses will keep happening if the cat is allowed outside. Be glad you’re not my childhood friend, her cat would deposit corpses on their pillows 😱.

Take the cat. Be the Cat Protective Services the cat needs. Then find real friends who aren’t so delusional they probably shouldn’t be considered legally capable of giving consent.

Where is my grip on reality (not socially comfortable consensus delusion, but reality) failing?

Put a little bell on their collar; it’ll heavily cut down on the prey they can sneak up on.
