And a few companies do most of global pollution. Doesn't mean someone who litters gets a free pass for their effect on the environment.

I agree with the message of what you're saying (see my other comments here) but the way you're saying it sounds like animosity towards the cat themself, which isn't really fair. The responsibility lies entirely with the humans.

Look at the cute little environmental hazard with irresponsible owners!

I care about the environment and the cat, but I downvoted you for sounding like a smug, entitled asshole.
