Okay, I'll bite: Half your accusations are nonsensical. Cats kill "other pets"? Yeah, I suppose, if you put your goldfish in a shallow bowl on your patio... Property damage? Did you even use half a brain cell before making that statement?

Furthermore - yes, domestic cats killing birds is an issue. One that's successfully inflated and thrown at you from tons of news to try and distract you from the orders of magnitude larger effect that industry has on the bird population.

Beyond that: cats are an issue where they are brought into an ecosystem that hasn't adapted to them, e.g. New Zealand. But in most parts of the world, cats are absolutely compatible with the ecosystem, as their typical prey is detrimental to gardens / agriculture. Why do you think humans domesticated cats in the first place?

Take your undifferentiated hate against cats to a therapist and work on your self hate.
