I must have missed a trend. I have never had a cat that I didn’t let outside and the thought of keeping a cat inside strikes me as strange.
Sharing my home with animals doesn’t appeal to me. We always had cats OUTDOORS - kept the mice from coming INDOORS. I can, however, understand not letting a cat outdoors if you live in the city.
Me,too. Our cat climbs the walls when she can’t go outside. It’s too cold here this morning; and she’s been cutting a fit to get outside. - She’s a hunter, a rip snorting little tree climber. She will answer to no name but “Brutus”. This is our reality.
