>>17114457Take the kittypill, /pol/: the war on cats is a war against civilization itself. Recently, there have been many 'news' articles/political initiatives along the lines of:
>Pet cats kill birds>Don't let your cats outside>People have too many pet cats>Cats are a menace to biodiversityBut none of this is actually true. Instead, the anti-cat movement is part of the broader 'great reset' scheme. It's part of the same general trend against smaller farms and self-sufficiency. This is because cats were an important part of civilization's development. Agricultural excess could not be reliably stored in many areas due to mice and rats.
Then, smaller wildcats showed up, and began hunting those grain/flour-eaters, which allowed for the rise of the first complex societies and empires. Cats also help control rat-borne pestilence and plague. Cats were sort of like little furry guardians who allowed people to move beyond prehistory. Over the millennia, they have also adapted themselves to become friendlier to people, which is why they became popular as pets in the first place.
Efforts to reduce/eliminate cats are not being done in good faith. The cat is the primary predator of the mouse, the rat, the shrew, and other smaller, disease-vector scavengers. Cats do not even target birds in most cases, and studies claiming that 'cats kill X number of birds' are badly flawed. Those who seek to eliminate cats are those who seek to empower pests and vermin. That's the real story here. Cats kill plague rats. Cats kill the crop-eaters. Remember this.
