Keep the cat indoors, it is better for the cat and neighbors.
I generally don’t like the idea of the cats being outside, but one of my cats just insists, and won’t shut up until I let him out.
I make an exception for him because he is a big, tough cat. He grew up in Wyoming with big dogs and antelope and can handle himself fine.
The previous owners had him declawed (sad), but he’s like the Honey Badger, he don’t give a shit. He’ll chase anything. Stray cats, possums. No animals come in our backyard anymore.
He likes to sleep on our patio even when it’s cold, and he greets me at the door everyday when I get home from work. He knows the sound of my car.
Haven’t had any complaints from neighbors yet.
