So Strawman or whataboutism (too tired to decide which one of those). Your debating techniques need some work, my friend.
How do you know I haven’t addressed these things in my life?
Either way, the best one can realistically do is to minimize harm. I don’t think allowing your cat out is minimizing harm. In fact, since you are actively choosing it, I would argue that it is worse than secondary or tertiary knock on effects. It might not have the same level of impact, but you are vehemently defending it. That’s much worse on my opinion
