Re: indoor cat good or bad??

There have been lots of threads relating to this issue.
I personally wouldn't have an outdoor cat, mine have access to outdoor runs & they are perfectly happy.
I breed Bengals but putting straying/theft/unwanted pregnancys/disease aside, I too live by a busy road & I just couldn't bear it, if I had to find one had been killed by the roadside.

I know some people think it's odd or even cruel, I don't, my cats have never had 'real' outdoor experience so don't miss it.

I'd say if your cat is happy inside then keep him safe inside with you.
He won't bring home any unwanted dead things/fleas or ticks just some of the bonuses of an indoor cat.

I have found that house cats are more loving & friendly too.
