I am so glad that I asked this question, as it looks like I am not the only one to fear allowing my cats outside.
I was speaking with a very haughty woman the other day, who stated her disgust with people who allow their cats outside. She could not understand why dogs are kept under control and yet cats were allowed to cause havoc outside and wonder at will  |
Would she take her gold fish down to the lake and tip it in, or let her hamsters' free in the garden? People use this logic about cats, but when you turn it onto any other animal/pet you just get back a lot of 'cats are different, their needs are different, you can't compare'.
I don't see why not? I really think it is just because most of us have grown up with our parents/grandparents letting cats in only at night. Our grandparents ' cats got scraps or learned to thieve from bins. I just think ideas are slowly changing, we live in a different world now.
You can also buy [or make] some wonderful out door cat trees/scratchers
