Good video. "Trigger" was Roy Rogers' horse. We live in the suburb of a large city. In addition to stray and neighborhood cats, there are skunks, possums, owls and even coyotes at times. My house is full of cat toys and kids' toys. There are perches by every window. Having two cats helps. They will be staying inside for now.
ОтветитьI live in an apartment in a city that has bylaws stating that you have to keep your cat in your yard when unleashed, just like with dogs. Aside from those rules, there are just too many cars, dogs, mean people, and other predators around for me to let my cat (or dog) outside without me, so I take my cat out on a harness and leash. We just started doing this a few months ago and she likes to explore the area near my patio. She rarely goes more than 30 feet away and immediately runs back to the door when she gets scared. She seems happy just hanging out nearby for now but she might eventually get more adventurous and want to go further. She hates cat backpacks (too small), so I bought a pet stroller for longer walks since it's much more spacious. I leave it in my living room and she sleeps in it sometimes. I figure if we explore further from the apartment, I can put her in it when she's scared or I see a dog (or goose 😂) coming. My only real worries now are losing her if she slips out the door or gets out of her halter. But I feel they're risks worth taking so that she can get some outdoor enrichment in good weather.
ОтветитьCatios are another option for indoor cats.
Ответитьwe got a portable mesh tent and tunnel set for our cats to go outside, since we are renters and can’t have a permanent catio. they love being out and it saves me a lot of time following them around on a harness and leash
ОтветитьOur bengle escaped one day when she was little, that was it, we had to let her out because she would never shut up meowing at the the door, started with leash on in garden spiked to floor and walks on leash, she escaped a lot, but always came back, then one day got hit by a car 😢 rip
Ответитьi've always had a few windows my cat could sit at and chirp at the birds. sometimes in the winter I'd hold the door a crack for her to get a sniff of the twenty degree air and that would curtail her desire to escape. I had a cat I took in and it was very grateful but it still drove me crazy to go outside routinely.
You're right there are people who will hurt cats, I work with some. Also nowadays there are a lot of poisons used, weedkillers ect. on lawns .
I've had indoor cats and outdoor cats. I noticed that the outdoor cats were much more active and playful and well, just more cat like. The indoor cats I've had were mostly lethargic and just seemed bored all the time. Your right about longevity though, a couple got hit by cars. My ex has a cat that used to love to run around the neighborhood all night but as he got older only wants to stay indoors. It also depends on the cat and if they want the stimulus and excitement.
ОтветитьKEEP YOUR CATS INSIDE! If you dont care that at any time the cat will be gone then by all means let it out. If you let it out trust me the cat will be gone at some point. I know. Many outdoor cats gone. Miss terribly.
ОтветитьI have a Maine Coon cat named Grayson. He’s about a year old, and we trained him to wear a harness and leash, so goes for walks, but we have never let him roam outside alone
ОтветитьLove that you mentioned humans as a predatory animals too, listening to true crime has convinced me that harnesses is the only way if you can't do a catio. That and I snapped my little dude off the streets and I would not blame someone else for falling for him like I did.
