I have a cat door and some acreage behind me and a neighborhood in front of me. My cats come and go at will. (for some strange reason I still have to open the door for them when they want out and I’m home, but that is for a cat psychology discussion at some other time). If you adopt a cat from the SPCA they want you to sign something that says the cat will be an indoor cat only. I was telling a friend of mine in Australia this and he thought that was crazy (which I agree with, unless the SPCA police are reading this). Anyway it is not like you can take a cat for a walk, Easily, like you can a dog for exercise. Plus they are such hunters, that for me, I could not rob them of a life with no prey to chase (even if that means they often times bring them in the house for me to chase as well).
I just wanted to see what others thought.
