When I saw a down-voted comment I knew it'd be this. Seriously, keep your cats indoors for their safety and other animals safety. There are more than enough psychos out there that enjoy running over cats and cats can have an impact on local wildlife. I say this as a lifetime cat owner, I love them to death but keep them inside.

EDIT: Things that can kill your cat outside: Cars, Dogs, Coyotes,Fox, Fishers, Owls, Hawks, Eagles, anti freeze and other poisons.

Your cat also kills things and not just mice or rats. Song birds and humming birds also are prey. If your cat is indoors it also can't help transmit the many cat carried illnesses. Also far less likely to get lyme disease.

Kinda cringe, mind yours. We are all animals, and we all live wildly different lives from each other, for any number of reasons that you apparently haven’t even bothered to consider.

Look, My cat and I live in a remote area. He is a working cat and goes outside. There is no more danger to him than there is any other working animal. He is neutered, and doesn't travel much further than the compost heap. I personally think keeping an animal indoors is cruel, but hey, that's just an opinion and don't take to the internet to force my opinion on others.

Our late cat loved the outdoors. In the winter we would shovel a path for the dog & him to go outside. We made sure to give the cat paths to trees if needed.

I have a picture of my wife shoveling the path with the dog & cat standing behind her, watching her progress.

Projecting much? Lol I assume you’re a baby based off of how aggressive you felt to be. (Sit down? Cute.) and this subsequent reply confirms it. You’re wrong. Do better. Maybe take a nap

I love dogs and always had them growing up on the farm. I have never had one as an adult because I feel it is less cruel for the dog to not have existed than for him/her to spend their entire existence at the end of a leash or worse confined. What's the compassionate solution? No more cats and dogs? The fact that humans feel the need for 100% control over their environment and the creatures in it is an almost a laughable path to take and destined to failure. Shit we can't even make our own species to do the simplest thing like don't take fentanyl.

They have to love their best loves too. Shoot, my buddy wants to go wandering. I know it's dangerous but, he loves his life. He comes home One day he might not. Way it goes. Wife had a tabby who loved to hunt. He'd bring back birds, rats, you name it. There was a marsh behind the house; hundreds of acres of land to hunt on. One day he just didn't come back. Rocky lived.
