    Or you can just choose not to put your cat in that situation and it cuts those risks by 100%

    My cat loves riding on the passenger side of the dash in my truck when we go places. But do I let him be out of his carrier on streets with other drivers? Fuck no, good chance those other drivers are idiots.

    Edit: Relevant cat tax

      He’s not on streets with other drivers, He’s in a bike-mounted carrier. If its safe enough for people, its safe enough for an animal light enough to jump off buildings.

        With other drivers… Ever been rear ended on a motorcycle while waiting on a light? I have, and can say there is very little you can do about it. Everybody has to determine the risks they are willing to take. I still ride but there’s absolutely no way I would bring my cat (even tho he would love it), I kind of like him.

          Yes, also hit by a truck that rolled back on an incline. Lesson: always filter to be next the cars at the red lights.
