Please don't take this personally, but, unless you live on a farm out in the middle of nowhere, cats should NOT be allowed to go outside. An outdoor cat's life expectancy is 5 years compared to an inside only cat's 15-20 years. Much of our problems with feral cats and overpopulation, resulting in disease (which is rampant) and death, is because of people who don't spay or neuter and who allow their cats outside. BTW...my adorable hubby loves our two kittehs as much as I do!

Please, if you love your kittehs, keep them safe inside. If you have a cat(s) that already go outside get them fixed and vaccinated and DO try to keep them inside (some actually get used to it after awhile). If it's a new baby, keep it indoors, they will never know the difference. We should all do our part to protect these sweet gifts from God. kthxbye!

I agree entirely. Of my three kittehs, two show no signs whatsoever of wanting to go outside, and one lost the urge after bolting and staying out for ten days.

One cat, that I was going to adopt late last year, who was a senior, 15, and was abandoned, by her family, I was going to adopt because I was the one that was feeding her, as she would come to the front door of the no-kill cat shelter that I volunteer. She had passed on from cancer, but I had adopted another older cat, who is no 11, right after that. A female jet black cat. The one that pass, was gray and white female.
