Probably a good thing.
I mean, if you did own a cat, you'd be in an ethical conundrum regarding whether or not you should kill it, or the best way to kill it if you thought you should. Assuming you could bring yourself to do so, you know, morals and all that. Kill the cat, or not kill the cat and let the cat kill a bird or ten... oh, Great Pumpkin, whatever should I do?
Noooo, don't ever buy a cat. Maybe adopt one from a shelter, you know, more ethical that way.
All those RSPCA folks thinking they're saving animals by saving and distributing the one animal guaranteed to kill everything else it can. For humane reasons, of course. Somebody please think of the kittens! (They're cuter than lizards). I mean seriously, if those clowns actually wanted to do something for the environment (or even just animals) they should be shoveling cats into gas chambers, rather than saving and redistributing the damned things.
No, wait! Just imagine how much better off the world would be if we could ship off every cat in Australia to Africa to feed the starving children.
Of course you'd have to navigate the political minefield of live cat exporting, because all that refrigeration costs money you know, not to mention the greenhouse gasses and wotnot, and then there's probably be all sorts of considerations about whether or not we should say a little prayer over them before we bash their heads in (or pay someone else to do it, someone licenced and approved after due consideration from the relevant people in power... and perhaps a small donation to the church), and just imagine all the money you could save on feed during the voyage - they eat rats! Rat-free ships, bonus!
But hey, at least those little African kids wouldn't go hungry, right? And the lizards and birds and cute little almost-extinct mammal and rodent species dotted around the place would breathe a sigh of relief, begin to multiply again, and get themselves killed crossing highways instead.
Dammit, a couple of drinks and there I go solving all the worlds problems again. Should probably just eat a whale instead, less outrage that way.
