    Time to be down voted to oblivion for my parents’ exception to the rule: their outside cat just celebrated his 25th birthday. He’s no longer an energetic, murderous little shit, but a grumpy no longer able to murder murderous little shit.

    Very precious, 10/10 to pet

      I’m not going to downvote you, but just because you know a lucky cat doesn’t mean being outdoors isn’t bad for the cat.

      It’s like hearing about some person who’s reached 100 years old who has a cigar and a shot of bourbon every day and thinking that it’s the shot and the cigar that caused the longevity instead of just the luck of the draw.
