    It was so wholesome that I had to post. First video I've shared on lemmy.

    I think somehow it shows how absurd this war between our countries really is. Our border is literally a ditch that a cat jumps over with zero effort. Why are we even fighting.

    Cat "owner" is an asshole. Like, I get that cats want to explore and decimate bird populations outside, etc... but indoor cats live longer and the situation is better for everyone if you don't let them outside unsupervised. It's the equivalent to letting your kid eat candy every night and not brush their teeth because it "makes them happy". Except in this case, it affects more than just yourself. You have to be the caretaker/parent and do what's right...

    EDIT: Downvote me all you want because your feelings are hurt, but I am morally and factually right.

    I knew this comment was coming. Agree on bird populations. My parents always had a farm cat and the last two lived for over 20 years each. The current one is 12.

    If you look at that road on google maps where the video is shot, there is basically zero traffic. For natural predators the only ones the kitty needs to worry about is bald eagles I think. I bet that cat will die of old age.

    You anticipated someone would post a reasonable plea to keep pets indoors or supervised for their own good. Congrats? But neither that nor your personal anecdote changes the facts about this issue...

    Ok, related question. Lets say I'M walking on the American side of the border. And lets say you are walking across the street.

    If I have a lost pet, and I'm hanging lost pet fliers on the American side, can we meet in the middle of the road, neither one crossing, and I hand you a stack of fliers to post on the Canadian side?

    Serious answer: Anything crossing the border in either direction must go through a port of entry. They keep a close eye on the border there, even if there's not a car. And they wouldn't take such a thing lightly Anyone doing that should not be surprised if they end up with a ban on entering the other country. Yes, even for a stack of flyers.
