Inside verses Outside

 

What an indoor cat misses out on -

 

• Exposure to feline AIDS from cat fighting

• Being hit by a car

• Animal traps

• Poisoning, accidental or intentional

• Complaints & threats from neighbours

• Rain, Wind and Cold

• Loneliness and Fear

• Harsh Winters

• Getting skin cancer from UV exposure

• Getting caught in a car engine or garage

• Fleas, ticks, parasites and worms

• Getting a collar hung on a fence etc

• Being stolen and used for dog bait

• Exposure to disease from other animals

• Cruelty from strangers

Please keep your cats indoors or in an outdoor enclosure.

 

If you want to let your cat outside once it is old enough I would just like you to read the above and think seriously about the dangers that they face. Indoor cats are happy I promise. I have lost many kittens that I have sold to people who lived in 'quiet cul de sacs', in the country to either a road traffic accident or I even had a young boy who I bottle fed who got caught under the netting in a fish pond and drowned a the grand old age of 7 months. It is so heartbreaking. 

 

I raise these kittens from the moment they are born, weighing them, checking on them, socialising them, feeding them, playing with them and I trust that new owners will love them just as much as I did when they were here. So please think carefully before allowing them outside.
