One thing I notice between Australia and the rest of the world is the view on 'outdoor cats'.
Lots of overseas accounts happily post photos of a cat outside in the world.
In Australia, especially over the last decade or so, an outdoor cat is now considered a problem. Especially in my city (Canberra) where laws are slowly banning outdoor cats.
For us it is primarily an issue of the impact of an voracious carnivore on the existing ecosystem.
