People who let cats roam are first class assholes. People who let unfixed cats roam are a threat.

What do you mean by roam ?

Somehow I get downvoted for asking a clarification. Not everybody is a native speaker, I'm not sure what roam means in this context, so I ask. Look at what OP did, they answered my question very clearly and without judgement.

It's an American thing. Culturally there it's expected that cats are kept indoors, and that any other view is unacceptable.

Whether they are neutered is another conversation

American here. Clearly it's not a "culturally expected" thing in my neighborhood.
