depends on the pest you want controlled.
spiders for example, could be dealt with by an indoor cat.
although i'll admit mine doesnt, but i think that's because he knows i dont like spiders

Our Norweigen Forest cat loves going for walks on his lead.
Basically he is a house cat, but we have a catio built on the back of the property so that he can enjoy the fresh air and sunshine. They're very friendly cats, so will approach strangers for affection. Unfortunately this is when they get stolen.
Our next door neighbour takes her Stoats for walks on leads.
OMG your cat is amazing!!

It's weird that people have cats on boats and in flats and never let them outside. Also remove their claws. It just sounds like a cruel and unusual punishment.
Even weirder though is people walking their racoons.

This reminds me of that guy who walks his emu. Cannot link as it contains swearies.
Declawing is quite rightly illegal here and in a number of countries. It's mutilation.
Keeping cats indoors cannot even be compared to that.
Australian council to ban cats outside unless they are on a lead.

Young bloke next door lets his cat out on a lead tied to a post.
A bloke up the road used to walk his dog in a pram when it could no longer walk, it was quite sad to see but he loved her so much.
She died earlier this year.

Our cat comes for walks for us but never on a harness. She just follows us on our walks around the local countryside, sometimes for 5 kms or more. She sometimes also sit sin the hallway and waits for us to go outside so that she can go for a walk. She seems to enjoy getting to see different places.

Adin Lang's council had a massive operating deficit of $8.5 million in 2019 to 2020, this is what happens when long haired bearded wonders are listened to, with their ludicrous ideas to squander other's money, including putting cats on leads off your own premises. It's the likes of lunatics like him that need reining in.

Its more of a US thing I think where cats tend to indoors-only and if they are allowed out its on a lead less for for the sake of the wildlife but for their safety because roaming coyotes will take cats and even small dogs if they get a chance

I have a Bengal and since she is quite expensive and at risk of being stolen, she was initially only ever allowed outside in our garden while on a lead. Now that she's 8 and knows to stay in the garden and not leave it (she's generally pretty good about this and rarely needs to be found) we don't bother with the lead any more.
We did take her to the local park a couple of times but there were so many unleashed dogs that we found it too stressful.

Things aren't so glamorous now, I won't link to it as there is too much swearing but this is quite funny:
Search for "man walks his emu down the street" on youtube

Almost enough to make me want to move there, would be able to take the electric fencing down in the garden.
Castration and spaying are also mutilation, it's surgical alteration of the animal for the benefit of the owner, bit hypocritical to condemn one and not the other tbh.

desexing actually helps them live longer, statistically and if they're not going to be allowed to breed, having them climb the walls trying to find a mate is stressful for them. declawing affects their ability to walk! it is akin to removing the last bone on every finger.
Strange comparison. Declawing would be like having the tips of your fingers cut off.
Altering has lots of health benefits like not getting feline leukemia or AIDS, certain cancers too and stops shelters becoming overwhelmed with cats which benefits no one.
