Thats not universally american. Plenty of people in the states let their cats roam. The problem we have is people who think they are rescuing a cat when really they are stealing someones pet

I mean it's an American thing to loudly proclaim that if you do anything other than have an indoor cat then you're an awful person (see original OP of this thread), not appreciating that America is wildly different on this position than pretty much any other country in the world

The problem we have is letting cats roam free, if you don’t want your pet rescued don’t leave it outside
