If you let the cat in your house, you deserve what you get. My cats are strictly outdoor/barn critters.
If I am getting what I deserve then I am thankful for it. I LOVE cats and have my entire life. According to my baby book, my first real word was “KeeKee” (kitty). I am surrounded by the wild and wonderful. amusing, thoughtful, puzzling, frustrating, crazy, loving and lovable creatures. Ahhh, CATS !! see my tag line...
Our Bob is part indoor, part outdoor. He always shows up at bedtime because we have various critters out there. He also becomes a lot more friendly when the weather is cold and/or rainy.
We are moving to our farm and taking Bob with us. We have to keep him inside until he bonds to the house and then he can go out and smell the coyotes and bobcats. We also are taking our son and daughter in law’s cat that they now have to keep in the garage because he and their indoor male fight. Ziggie was a neighborhood cat living in a hole under their porch when they moved it. He’ll live in Mr. Mercat’s huge shop out there - big as a barn and it does have mice. If he slips out occasionally that’s okay.
Where I live here in So Cal nighttime outdoor cats soon become dead cats. They’re the local coyotes’ favorite snack.
