Re: DEBATE: Letting cats out - Your opinions.
That run is fab - my poor cats are stuck inside at the moment and I've had to lock all windows to stop the kids letting them out. As soon as it's possible I'm going to get hubby to build something like that

Re: DEBATE: Letting cats out - Your opinions.
Reason for not letting him out at night is because my first cat got ran over and was found next to a speed camare, then i had two more cats. 1st went out at night and was found dead in a garden and then the other he went out at night and never came back. After all I don't let my cat to go outside...

Re: DEBATE: Letting cats out - Your opinions.
I have been very fortunate ... never lost a cat to a rta or other outside danger before but then, mine do not go out roaming. The neuters only go out supervised with me being present, in my own garden, and they come in again when I return indoors. The queens stay in at all times ... except when they go to the vet or go out on honeymoon.

Re: DEBATE: Letting cats out - Your opinions.
my cats go outside, when i got them as kittens we were in the process of moving so didnt want to let them out before we moved, once we moved after we had all settled in i let them out, they love being outdoors but also love coming in to have a cuddle.
one of my cats fractured his pelvis last march and he had to have cage rest for 6 weeks it was horrible but he is ok now, he tends to just go in our garden and next doors , where as the other one goes for hours. The one that fractured his pelvis was hit by a car but the vet said it is more like he was run over rather than hit, realised that he had been laying under wooden boards the council had out down as they had removed the kerb for a drop down Last edited by haylz22; 19-06-2008 at 12:06 PM. |

Re: DEBATE: Letting cats out - Your opinions.
I don't own cats and never have but most cats where I live have lived here for 15 yrs onwards with no problem with safety as we're a good few roads away from a busy main road. Although, my friend who lives on a very quiet road has lost TWO kittens outside her house from mad drivers taking advantage of our country roads, using them as race tracks...
![]() My nan's partner has Siamese, very well bred, Pedigree show quality cats who have never gone outside and it hasn't done any of them any harm from being indoors. If I had cats, I'd want them to know they could be in or go outside if they wished. Cats are very indipendant animals and can fend for themselves but I know from having friends lose cats on roads (and from people actually stealing them!) that you need to have the right environment for them and possibly use some sort of repellant on your fencing to stop them straying further than your garden? Don't know but personally mixed feelings on that one. |
