Yeah I see OP heavily revised this version of events, and worded it in a way that made it sound intentional. OP sucks and Milo’s death was absolutely avoidable from all sides involved. Yeah, he shouldn’t have left it out - not just because of her cat, but for any animals that would have gotten into it. It’s negligent. But so is letting your cat free roam, where it could find something like that 10 feet away at your neighbors - or 10 streets away. The cat could camp out behind an Autozone for all OP knows. And to purposefully fuck with someone’s mental health when 50% of the blame falls on yourself, also sucks.

If you can fence it in with a catio or a cat proofed fence then I'm all for letting the cats outside. Free roaming cats are devastating to the local environment and ecosystem. Plus they are likely to get run over or munched by a loose dog or coyote. I have my cats leash and harness trained which was a butt load of work but I can take them anywhere and not worry about them getting into trouble. It's more cruel to not give a fuck about what your cat is messing up outside the boundary of your walls.
