The same goes for dogs, though. I don't think you meant ill, but I think you maybe missed the overarching theme that this was likely a lost or wild cat. People would still find your original comment offensive, whether it was a cat or a dog, and suggesting that keeping animals on leashes ignores all-too-common cases of loss or abandonment (which I'm sure you'd agree is an ongoing problem).
