Sorry, i was expecting the worst from you, as so many cat owners will jump to defend themselves over letting a cat outside. It shows you are responsible

I would suggest if she doesn't, people are likely to post far worse things than "give it a rest" or "get off your high horse" which IMO are not rude, disrespectful or insulting at all.”

One last thing to clear up - I have an indoor cat so your belief that I'm one of your imaginary army of cat wranglers, despatching their pets to kill all "wildlife" and defecate through letter boxes, is incorrect.”

Come on.....If a person knowingly lets the cat out to go where it pleases knowing that they kill wildlife and crap on others lawns etc etc, it pretty much is inflicting it on others, who choose not to own a cat. This is what happens. There are a lot of problems with free roaming cats
By the way, good on you for having an indoor cat
