Do You Have Indoor Cats?

We have 1 indoor cat and 1 outdoor cat. We got Boots (black and white with white paws) and Furball (Himalayan looking) from my husband's sister's farm. We spent 1 whole hour chasing after Furball who kept running from one corner of the barn to the other. (there was a lot of stuff in the barn so she kept getting behind things) - all because that's the one my husband wanted :P Furball disappeared soon after having her kittens under the neighbor's shed. We think the neighbor may have taken her and given her away. Boots has been with us for several years now. And has had a few litters of kittens. One (the spitting image of her mother) which we kept, declawed, spayed and brought inside. She prefers my younger daughter the most. So when my daughter and I are cuddled on the couch under the blanket, the cat usually joins us. :D

I have a indoorcat.It is white and very very fat.It was abandon by it's ex-master when it was a kitten, he just keep the mother cat.There were 4 kittens , my cat is the only one no one want to take it.Then I take it home and it becomes my family member.=]

Aaaaw! I think you guys are a wonderful people for showing such kindness toward those little kitties in their time of need. :-) When I was a little kid, we had indoor/outdoor kitties. We were fortunate enough to live in a nice, quiet area where it was safe to let the cats out during the day if they wanted to mouse or play. We later moved to the 'big city' and it just wasn't safe to let the cats outdoors any more. Needless to say, the kitties weren't terribly pleased with us for quite some time. We eventually moved back to an area where it would be safer to let the cats outside again. But I did some research and ended up finding out that cats that are kept strictly indoors lead much healthier and longer lives. So I've opted to keep the bunch of cats we have as strictly indoors. Besides. It makes it that much easier to control the flea thing if they're not traipsing around outdoors getting into who knows what and possibly brining those nasty little buggers back in with them. (ICK! lol)

Yes, there is a cat in our home who allows us to live with him! Ha! He is absolutely spoiled rotten. We got him from the local animal shelter shortly after moving here. He is now about 11 years old. He has never been an outdoor cat, only an indoor cat. I would have another one but he would die if he had to share his 'domain' with another cat! I love cats!

We have 2 indoor cats. Actually my cat Indy was never ever allowed outside until we moved this summer. We lived on main street before and now are miles out in the country. She loves it outside but would have a fit if she wasn't allowed in the house - she's an indoor cat with outdoor privaleges.

my condolensces to the mother cat she was lucky to find u thank god it was not some1 else sorry about the little one who did not make it either but gratefully u still have 1 left i have had cats all of my life dont ever remember living in any house that did not have at least 2. i myself at this point i have 6 they were all strays that i took in the oldest is a brother and sister who this year will be 19 i have had them since they were 5 weeks old i am all they have ever known. like me they are getting signs of aging and i suppose they are living on borrowed time but i love them dearly and will have some awesome memories of them but yes i have 6 indoor cats who i love dearly

Yes we have 3 cats indoors. We have raised two of them since they were about 5 weeks old. And the other we have had since she was probably 6 months old. They are all about 5 years old now. They are the funniest things sometimes. They also know when I don't feel good and they will lay on my lap or lay in the bed with me. I have had cats most of my life so it would seem weird to me not to have them.

We had a come into the house when they feel like it, but prefer to spend time in the yard cats. That was years and years ago. We had one when we were in Saskatoon, or was it in Burnaby, B.C. I remember having a cat when I was young and a dog as well, and they spent more time in the yard, but then I had some emotional experiences that hurt me badly so I forgot much of what did go on.

We have an indoor cat named Wilbur. He is a mess! He will find the oddest places to lay down and take a nap. The funniest place was when he got on top of the entertainment center in my parents' bedroom. However, when one of them turned the light off, he jumped from the entertainment center onto the bed with a big THUMP! Wilbur is an indoor/outdoor cat, but he is A LOT of fun!

Hello dear anne. We used to have indoor three kittens while my wife was doing garment business years ago, but we did not have them long as they made the house so smelly. We sent them to our friends who would love to raise them and I am so glad that they had their new home to stay in. Now my wife and son have an indoor poodle, about three months old. It is so cute and beautiful, but it does not have a good habit of using the bathroom. It just pisses everywhere on the floor. This poodle was sent to us by my brother-in-law. It is right now sitting next to me close to the heater to keep warm. I love it.

my cat Izzy has always been an indoor cat. She was supposed to have been an indoor outdoor cat but my outdoor cat Q didn't want her around and would be mean to her so I just decided to have her be an indoor cat, I think she likes it better that way. outdoors scares her.

my grandmother have lots of cats in her house.. sounds creepy eh? but i am used to it.. besides they are cute and cuddly that is why we love them to stay in the house. we also have a dog. our cats and our dog don't fight. they also share foods..

That is so sad, but it happens often. That's why it is SO important to spay and neuter cats and dogs. The mother can die in childbirth just like a human can. The only difference between a human and an animal is that it's easier to nourish a human than it is 6 or more kittens/puppies. They have to be fed every other hour by bottle and it's hard as heck to do that. I'm glad you took them both in. It was very nice of you to rescue them both. I have both indoor cats and indoor dogs. The dogs only go out to go to the potty then they come back in. They like to laze around outside when it's pretty outside, but they know they belong indoors. All animals should remain inside. It's safer for the animal. I've never had one of my inside cats get ran over by a speeding truck or get beaten by a neighbor's kid with a baseball bat. There are so many dangers outside that I haven't listed that do not exist inside. All animals deserve to be safe inside your home.

I always had indoor cats then when I moved into a bottom I let them out and guess what the were stolen, I just have two cats left and they will stay in the house from now on.
