We don't allow our housepets outside. The only time they go outdoors is
on an annual or other trip to the veterinarian.




Why are you denying your animals the ability to experience nature. Or,
have they told you they like sitting at the window watching the world go
by just like prisoners do?



Our pets live long, happy, healthy lives, without concern over their
next meal, or where to stay warm and dry, and safe from being hit by
cars on nearby roads or shot by morons with guns. The roads down here
are littered with the carcasses of deer, raccoons, dogs, foxes, cats, et
cetera.

Our pet Maine coon cat, for example, a kitty we rescued from the
outdoors, decided in one day he never wanted to go outdoors again. If he
is near a door that leads to the outside and it is opened, he runs in
the other direction. This is a tough cat, by the way, who is very strong
with great teeth and claws. Though he is just a cat, he knows he's got
it made with us, and has no need for a short, dangerous life outside.

One of our neighbors down the street had a pretty Springer spaniel they
allowed out in their fenced yard. The dog dug his way out, to
"experience nature," as you termed it, and was found dead by the side of
a nearby road two days later. What he experienced was getting hit by a
car or truck.

No thanks.


Sounds like you raise your cats like your parents raised you, sitting in
the house all day far away from the dangerous world.
