We have a "cat lover", and another moving in with two more. Both declare that cats need to roam, and keeping them contained is cruel.
I have purchased a cat trap and will be relocating them to the local pound. Watching a possum limp past our front camera the other night with chunks of fur missing all over it and moments later the cat stalking it was enough to put me over the edge. I also have an assortment of large rocks near our front door which will be used to shoo the cat away at high velocity whenever I catch it on our property.
I can't stand free range cats and the damage they do to the environment.
Absolutely. And yes each time they get released from the pound there's a hefty price to pay.
Cats are fine indoors if that's all they know.
And yes "cat lovers" are not necessarily "animal lovers".

I also thought it was illegal to let a cat roam free outside, although this this page does not say so explicitly.
Outside, yes. Outside your property, no.
That's rather good. I once lived fifteen minutes past Lismore in the middle of nowhere. Our small dog stopped going outside at a certain point, we had Wedge Tailed Eagles sometimes fly over and I wondered if he had been spooked.
