      It’s a form of nonsense argument where instead of addressing the actual point someone points at something worse and implies that if we can’t stop insert worse thing we somehow needn’t worry about insert less worse thing. In actuality presumably they have an outdoor cat and are contributing to the problem and just want to justify it.
