    My cats are belligerent toddlers and not at all autonomous. Only one of the three could survive outside for more than a week. (Granted, the other two are “old” now so even if they weren’t useless babies it would still be a statistical miracle for them to survive in the wild)

      I take it they aren’t strays then, with full autonomy, and are instead house cats with semi-autonomy, unless you’re saying you make them poop on walks and sit and stay and all that.

        Semi is giving them a lot of credit is what I’m saying. They’d starve to death if their food was in a paper bag instead of a bowl. One of them is afraid of the new curtains. Utterly useless. I love them but they are fully dependent on human care, much more than an average dog.
