> More people die in/by car accidents each year than do cats

I'll bet if we licensed cats to drive, their auto-accident death
rate would climb, too. This argument is just absurd. If you look
at it logically, animals aren't equipped to live in our unnaturally
designed lifestyle (i.e. in the city/suburb). If you choose to look
at it sentimentally, one might say "ohhhh, they should be freeeeee",
but then again, I'd rather say "ohhhh, I don't want my negligence to
kill my beloved and very naive cat." But I am sure everybody's had
quite enough of this argument...
