An Indoor Cat is a Happy Cat

**Click the arrow above, to see if you can make the cat speak to you!**

 

Our neighbors have a beautiful black and white cat. It wears a collar.

They put it outside every morning.  I cringe when I see it, sitting on their doorstep.

"Why?" you ask.

Because in the outdoors, that beautiful cat is likely to be:

-  hit by a car

- poisoned 
possibly by antifreeze [cats love the taste, and it's usually fatal]  
or by ingesting  some plant  in the garden or flowerbed - 
many plants are poisonous to cats

- chased and/or injured by a dog 

- chased and/or injured by humans

- injured in a fight with another cat

- choked by the collar, if the cat gets caught in a tree limb or a branch

In addition, a cat may catch a disease, from eating a mouse or a bird.

A cat may also catch a disease from another cat.

 

Why would anyone who cares for their pet cat, want to allow it to roam outside?

To allow a cat to roam outdoors is truly a cruel thing to do.

 

Birds are killed by cats, another reason to keep a cat indoors. 
Bird lovers will thank you for doing so!
