Counting stray cats while cycling at night

I get the impression from some sources that NOT allowing one's pet cat to free roam is considered a form of abuse by many in Britain. I don't know where that view comes from. This is a very long time ago, but I recall one cat we had in Hampshire was hit by a spade thrown by some guy because the cat was in his apple tree. The cat suffered a while, and I think we had to get her put down. After we moved to the U.S. I gradually became aware of the idea that letting a cat roam was cruel, and when I set up my own home and adopted a cat, I never let it or any other subsequent ones roam outdoors. -- |
