Going too far with pampering pet

Like Bruce said - here in Australia roaming cats are a huge menace to native animals.
as well as risk to themselves getting run over in traffic

If you have a cat in Australia it should be an indoor cat - or have a cat run (an enclosed area in your garden)
A huge cage, if you like - ‘cage’; just gives it negative connotation

Cats and dogs are domesticated animals now, not their ‘natural selves’. Dogs in nature wouldn’t be on leads either - but I don’t think anyone suggests letting them roam freely everywhere

But if people don’t think that is the way to have a pet cat - in Australia at least, don’t have one.

I may be an outlier but I think having a cat or dog in a very hot country is not advisable. I remember this beautiful husky in Dubrovnik. I don’t know how high the temperature was on the city walls but maybe 30c (at least). The dog owner was stopping to give the poor dog water from his bottle. There was no shelter from the sun. Poor dog loyal to his owner following him everywhere. I don’t think the dog was on a lead (many well trained dogs don’t need one). Unfortunately it’s not mandatory to train humans before they are allowed to own a pet.

Sadly.

All pet owners should have to take some sort of knowledge test before getting a pet. I know it sounds unfeasible, and it would be (even dog licences were phased out in the UK, and recently “mandatory” microchips have been introduced to no avail. Nobody actually gets held accountable) because nobody wants to learn how to be the best owner for their chosen pet.

Oh he doesn’t spit, hiss or claw. He just digs his claws into the carpet and clings on for dear life while squeaking in horror at leaving the floor.
