a) we're a breeding home, the cats health and kittens health would be at risk if they were outdoors mixing with the neighbourhood cats
b) theft, big problem with any pedigree cats
c) fatality by RTA's
d) fatality or injury by idiot teenagers with air gun pellets, and other forms of crulety
e) illness or death by eating something toxic i.e. a rat that has died of rat poison
f) I refuse to let any of our fur children become a nuisance to the neighbours by constantly pissing on their front doors and messing in their gardens (this happens to us with the neighbours cats!!)
g) death or injury by someone's dog

What it boils down to for us is that our indoor cats are very happy, social, well adjusted cats who lack nothing by not having freedom to go where they like outside. They love their cat run and I know that our cats are safe and that for me is the most important thing. We chose to bring them into this world and we are responsible for keeping them safe.
