gamer167 03/23/18 11:33:16 AM #57:	Are people on CE really that opposed to letting their cats go outside? We had 3 cats at one point, lived their whole lives indoors from kittens to almost 2 years old. One day one of the cats snuck outside, was gone for like a day, came back, and went outside everyday afterwards until the point he was basically an outside only cat. We followed suit with our other 2 and there was no issue. They came back once or twice a day to eat or drink from the bowls we kept outside and to get petted and hangout with us on the back patio. They all died of old age. Theyre animals, their instincts will enable them to survive.

Caution999 03/23/18 2:24:48 PM #67:	It's not technically true that indoor cats wouldn't "know how to survive" outdoors. Cat instinct doesn't go away. Cats would be more capable than small dogs or specialized breeds of dogs that serve no purpose. As long as they have their claws and aren't wearing one of those stupid bells around their neck, they could survive depending on age and where they're located. Won't help the bird population thrive, but...most would survive depending on the area obviously and weather. Some cats are scared of the outside for some reason, but my cats are dying to get out there. Ultimately though, the top 8 that other person posted is probably true.

ForestLogic 03/23/18 11:44:27 PM #86:	Not sure if anyone mentioned it TC, but if you have a garage, let your cat live there. A few years back through a messy divorce my brother had, my parents ended up taking him and his ex-wife's cat, but couldn't keep the cat indoors due to dogs/allergies/etc. The cat now basically lives in my parent's garage mostly, but they leave the door open for her so that she can go outside if she likes. She never strays far from the garage and mostly just walks around the yard, coming back into the garage at night to sleep (and has a heat light during the winter to stay warm). That started maybe 7 years ago and the cat is like 14 years old now, and seems to be doing fine/healthy. I highly recommend it. --- AKA Level 36 ForestWanderer / ObjectiveLogic #MasterChiefForSmash <cite>ForestLogic posted [p:898384232] in Easiest wa...

Not always true. I had an outdoor cat who lived to 16. He died of cancer. He would always come back in the mornings. We even moved houses and he learned the new area and kept to the same old routine. He was declawed too. Just a badass cat overall. Probably my favorite pet ever. He was extremely intelligent for a cat, a smug bastard yet had every reason to be, and on top of that very lovable.

Duwstai 03/24/18 12:01:54 AM #88:	I've had 3 cats growing up into now. The first one was a stray. He was full grown but young, and we fed him and during a huge snowstorm he just walked inside and he was our cat ever since. We lived right in front of a busy road but he knew what it was since he grew up outside. Probably saw plenty of the other strays get killed by cars. So he lived his life happily, coming and going inside and outside as he pleased. He died of old age. My other two cats grew up as indoor cats. I would never let them be outside cats. They didn't grow up and have to survive through it so they would probably get hit by a car within a week. Plus the one cat is way too much of a sweetheart. In a survival of the fittest world she would never make it. So she sticks with me. INSIDE. --- balls <cite>Duwstai posted [p:898385031] in Easiest wa...

Anteaterking 03/25/18 2:10:27 AM #91:	Caution999 posted... It's not technically true that indoor cats wouldn't "know how to survive" outdoors. Cat instinct doesn't go away. Cats would be more capable than small dogs or specialized breeds of dogs that serve no purpose. As long as they have their claws and aren't wearing one of those stupid bells around their neck, they could survive depending on age and where they're located. Won't help the bird population thrive, but...most would survive depending on the area obviously and weather. Some cats are scared of the outside for some reason, but my cats are dying to get out there. Ultimately though, the top 8 that other person posted is probably true.

TC is a troll but this post is so wrong. Cats dont have instincts to avoid getting run over by cars, killed by wildlife or kidnapped by people. Our first cat was an outdoor cat. He died of feline leukemia after getting in a fight with an infected cat. He was only 4. It was a painful thing to watch him die, he really suffered. I vowed not to let cats outside after that. My brother got a cat a couple of years later. I begged him not to let it out but he did. Cat disappeared and it was only a year old. He got another cat after that and he kept indoors. But one day he was negligent and the cat escaped out the front door. It never came home. It was about 4. My husband had 2 cats before I met him. He let them out all the time. They disappeared about a year later. My cousin had an outdoor cat. It would stay out for days and bring home birds it caught. A real predator type. It was killed by coyotes after a few years outside.
