      It's just that this is SO FAR FROM REALITY it's absurd The idea of keeping feral cat populations GROWING AT A STABLE RATE, never mind STOPPING them growing, never mind them DECLINING, is this fairy tale

      Hell, the fact that cat lovers love cats and are pushing cat population control programs that are as humane to the cats as possible is one huge reason it's a pipe dream, I'm sorry to say

      Like, there are far fewer rat lovers in the world Most people don't give a shit what happens to rats, we don't mind if rats suffer, we straight up violently kill rats in huge numbers without trying to adopt them to good homes There are still lots and lots and lots of rats

      From a cold pest control perspective, cats are just bigger rats who are 1.5 steps up from the regular rats on the rat food chain That people fall in love with and want to take home for some reason

      (A real rat lover would actually sit down at this point and talk about how rats are clearly smarter and more social creatures than cats and that they're much closer to the roots of the human evolutionary tree than cats)

      (Our love affair with cats is this perversity where now that we're the big dominant apex species we've fallen in love with tiny versions of the predatory carnivores that used to stalk and kill our ancestors)

      Replying to @arthur_affect @IamJadehawk @kstraith

      I don’t think it’s that perverse, even if it’s a bit atavistic for modern society. For early agricultural societies, the arrival of these furry little murder machines probably felt like a literal godsend. Hence the out and out worship in some cases.

      the key and indeed vaguely miraculous feature of cats is that unlike other potentially more effective rodent killers *they don't eat the grain themselves*

      Replying to @perdricof @ComradeGorbash and

      Also: surplus killers. Having an animal that kills rodents isn’t very efficient if they only kill when they’re hungry, which is most carnivores. You’d need to keep a ton of them around. But one cat can and will kill thousands of rodents a year.

      Cats are okay at this, but they aren't as consistent or programmable as terriers are

      It honestly is a lot like how Saruman's Uruk-hai are proud of being mindlessly destructive perfectly obedient killing machines and they all hate the Mordor-Orc sent to spy on them, who is no less dangerous in combat, for being a self-absorbed backstabbing creep
