So our neighbor's cat has been visiting us for a while, so I decided to build this ramp so that she could more easily get into and out of our yard. I'm not much of a woodworker, but was happy with how this turned out.
It's made almost entirely from cedar fence posts. Nearly 18 feet long (3 fence posts end to end with the dog ear tip cut off). Ripped cedar planks into 3 for a frame/support to prevent flexing. Posts are pine 2x4, and go 18 inches into the ground, which was the majority of the effort, since our ground is like cement...
Leash your cats folks..this is unacceptable behaviours from 'pet owners'.
Edit: I will NEVER understand the downvotes or negative comments from people defending this disgusting behaviour with cats. It's irresponsible to wildlife and the cat itself. Imagine people letting any pet roam free because they are 'cute'..disgusting and extremely irresponsible behaviour
Is this a joke that missed, or..?
Just seen your edit
I get the indoor cat point of view, but leashing a cat is so unheard of where I am that I assumed this was a joke.
If you aren't willing or able to understand an alternative view, maybe online discussions aren't for you? It's also a lot to do with your language choice and phrasing, you come across as very abrasive.
You're not entitled to your opinion when it's objectively harmful, and letting cats roam outside is objectively harmful.
Maybe the downvotes are because 1. You kind of come off rude just telling people how to live. 2. This is the woodworking community, not the cats community
This a ~~Wendy's~~ woodworking community
It's not their cat
