Pet-Keeping

... upsets me. I'm not used to a pet cat not being allowed to go outside, eat birds and rats of his choice and come home whenever he likes. I am asked to 'breed' this cat like he always was- kept at home, meek and timid, convinced that he will live longer if he is at home, fed controlled, processed food- such that his poo doesn't stink... playing with him twice a day to mimic a preying and hunting environment for him, so he gets some exercise.... I like things natural- as natural as possible. This- is unnatural. So today I'm pissed off at humanity for having discovered they can control and mould nature to their liking- plants and animals. This poor cat has been bred indoors, trained and all that- just so he is the perfect soft-toy- for someone to love and cuddle so that they feel better... and they control him with food. Poor, poor cat...
Where do you draw the pet 'owning' line???
