    You’re not debating in good faith.

    You right now are claiming the stance that responsible pet ownership or responsible parenthood or in this case not allowing a cat or a small child to roam freely without supervision means you shouldn’t allow them to do anything. And that’s not what it is about.

    You don’t allow either of them to freely roam without supervision because you’re unnecessarily putting them in danger of injury, disease or death.

    If you want to get a cat, a safer way to satiate their curiosity and need of activity would be to spend time with them, give them activities and walk them outside. Not leaving them for their own and hope they’ll be fine. That’d be considered neglectful here.

      You’re still not understanding or being willfully ignorant of the point I’m making.

      If your kid never leaves the house then they will not die in a road traffic accident. I can’t put it more simply than that.

      I’m not talking about constant supervision.
