I don’t know if it’ll help or not, but I think a lot of this boils down to a misunderstanding
OP has a cat on a harness, which allows the person holding the leash to prevent the cat from killing birds or entering dangerous areas
You posted a picture of your cats (which are adorable by the way) but without context, outdoors off-leash
Communist saw cats off-leash outdoors, and wanted to advocate for keeping cats indoors, since they weren’t aware your cats are indoor
They just didn’t know that your cats are indoor cats, and wanted to advocate for something that they (and myself) are passionate about (keeping cats indoors to help prevent ecological damage).
It seems to have escalated from there, and I’d love it to get back to square one and get the conversation back to positivity! We can all be friends :)
