Does your kitten go outside or is it indoors only? Anyone, your opinion please.

I don't allow cats or kittens to go outside. Most towns I have lived in have laws about animals needing to be restrained. In town there are too many dangers for animals, such as traffic, other animals, people, for me to risk my pets' lives. I would also worry they would just decide not to come back. I don't have anything against people who let their cats outside, especially if they have identification and are taken care of. It's just not a risk I want to take. I feel sorry for the poor kitty who gets out and gets lost.

In our home there is no pet kitten at all, but you can see several moving from one room to another, they are stray kittens, abandoned by the mother after giving birth , i hate them as they soil our beds, sofasets.. Best of luck. Professor

I don;t have a cat but I have 3 dogs. 2 female and 1 male. I never let them out. If they by any chance run outside,I will scold them terribly, and they know I am angry so they won't escape next time. It;s for their own good. In my country, dogs get stolen very fast when they are alone outside, especially when they are cute. I am also afraid they will get into terrible fights with other male dogs when it is mating season. I've seen how terrible male dogs can fight to get to a female dog. And if it's a female dog, I'm afraid it will come home pregnant if I let them out too. Last but not least, I am afraid of my dogs catching fleas from other dogs too. Oh yes, and I am afraid if they go out, they will eat rubbish which are bad for their health. Once they eat rubbish, they will not like the normal healthy food we give them anymore, and it will e a burden for us at home.

Hi Buchi_bulla, My two cats are indoor cats. They like and sometimes if I leave the back door open by accident they will just poke there heads out and so No and stay inside. I feed them really well and have the run on the house and sleep on the beds. I think they know they have it too good here compared to outside world. Do not get me wrong the love looking out the windows and seing the squirrels and birds etc... Thanks and have a great day Sincerley Unique16

It depends on the type of cat you are raising. If its a local hsehold cat, one can let it go outside and come back as it pleases. But if you have a pedigree cat, these cats are so precious to be let otuside without you watching it. If you have an enclosed garden, you can let it play & smell the fresh air or climb your tree. Pedigree cats (persian, british short or long hair, scottish fold, siamese, russian blue, among others) are also often stolen. Bec of their nice breeding, nicer features and character, they are better preferred as indoor cats. There are many accessories found in the market to make the life of your indoor cat a heaven. Buy it some of these stuffs and it will be happy.

All of my cats are free to come and go as they please. They usually hang around outside and come home just to eat. Some of them sleep at home. But sometimes they stay outside for days or even a couple of months, so they eat and sleep outside. I don't mind. They are living their own lives.

Since we do not have any kittens at home, I do not know anything about them and I have no idea about them either. Sorry, I may not be of any help to you in this connection by giving my opinion
