*cat owners

And I'm not sure how a curfew is going to work since that relies on cats to give one ounce of shit.

Australian farmers have, unfortunately, had to find certain methods of enforcing curfews on cats. Keep 'em inside, folks.

Curfews rely on owners, not cats.

Partially. It also relies on the cat listening to the owner when they try to get them inside. Some cats will, but most come when they feel like it. "Like herding cats" has its meaning for a reason.

Pets in general shouldn't be allowed to roam freely outside. There's too many dangers to them and things they can do to cause problems.

Entirely.

If you can’t keep your cat inside on time, than keep it inside all the time. This is 100% on the owner, they have the capabilities to stop it.

Simple, cats that are outside past X o'clock get taken to the RSPCA and they're put up for adoption after a week without being claimed.
