He also picks fights with neighbour cats and dogs and loses every time, costing me a fortune in vet bills. I love him.

So if I run your cat over in the street, you would have no problem with it? Because you sure seem okay with letting your captive predator out to do the same to your entire neighborhood.

I like to hear the howl of the coyotes and the hoot of the great horned owl nearby at night. We have no issues with cats roaming the neighborhood.

Cats being predators are meant to kill things. If this causes a problem in your area, it's a sign cats weren't meant to be in that area and you should probably stop buying them and domesticate some native wildlife instead.

He has a cat door, he comes and goes as he wants. If you run him over, he’s run over. That’s the reality of outdoor cats.

He never killed any of the animals he brought inside. If he suddenly starts killing stuff, I’ll probably reconsider.

You don't know what they have or haven't killed.
