Ask Lemmy
A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, and toxicity are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.
If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.
6) No US Politics.
Please don't post about current US Politics. If you need to do this, try !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world or !askusa@discuss.online

I live in a city, on a fourth floor, tragically, and I wouldn't want my kitten to fall and / or get flattened by a car.
Plus, I work most of the day, and cats do need attention, and space. It'd be cruel to leave the poor critter alone in a small flat all that time.
And anyway the only¹ birds we've got around here are pigeons, which are almost certainly toxic and, at this point, mostly composed of microplastics, and seagulls², which ditto and would probably try to eat the cat.
1.— We used to have massive flocks of sparrows, too, and ducks in one of the rivers, but the sparrows are mostly gone due to climate change and insect collapse, and I'm fairly certain the seagulls ate the ducks (or at least enough ducklings for the flock to go extinct).
2.— We're 34km from the coast. I have no idea where the seagulls came from. Horrible screeching parasites. Probably came up the river, eating the ducks on their way. River used to be full of carps... probably are those, too..
