Cats.... Indoor or Out?

all of my cats come and go as they wish at night i leave the kitchen window open for them to leave as they wish but on monday I will be moving so not sure what will happen right now

I have a lot of cats, but only one is allowed outside. She just drove us crazy until we let her out. She, however, stays by the house, unlike the other cats when they get out.

I have 16 cats and they all come and go as they please. We put in a cat door so they can come and go as they wish. Plus our 3 little dogs use the cat door to go out to do their business or play. We also have 2 large dogs in our fenced in backyard in which our little dogs love to go into their yard and play with them. We live in the country for our pets and of course ourselves so they can all be what they are and enjoy all the things that they do.

If your place is safe against people you eat animals or hunt one. Then I guess it can be okay to leave them roam around the area. It should be great for them, to mingle with other cats or animals. I guess domesticated animals such as cats are used to be at home rather than going outside. It's best if you can provide security for your pet. Train them to go home and be familiar with the area.

My kitten stays indoors and so far he doesn't seem like he wants to go outside. If he did want to go outside, I'd be nervous that he'd go roaming and get into some sort of trouble or never come back home. I also think that someone would decide to keep him because of his unique markings and cute face and then I'd never get him back. I plan on keeping him inside and I hope he doesn't ever try to get out

My two cats go in and out all day but I call them in at night. We live in open countryside and I am afraid that dogs might be roaming loose and get the cats. One of my cats prefers to be out of doors most of the time, the other is exactly the opposite. I do not give them a litter box at night, they are healthy cats, grown up but not old and they have no problem waiting until the morning. If they got desperate they would probably meow to be let out anyway. If I give them a litter box they always use it, I think they are just fascinated by it. Or else it is nicer to dig over than the soil in the garden. I spoil my cats but not as far as giving them a litter tray when they can wait until I let them out.

My cat always stays inside. He has always been an inside cat and will continue to be an inside cat. I can't really trust him going outside. I'm too afraid that someone will steal him, he will get hurt, or get lost. In all honesty, he doesn't really seem to want to go outside. He will look outside every now and then, but he doesn't ever try to go outside. I think he enjoys staying inside. The last time it snowed he looked outside and I actually took a picture of him looking outside. It was cute because he was looking at all the snow. I'm sure he was wondering what it was because he has never really been outside. I know other cats in my neighborhood that are outside a lot. We actually have some strays that live around us.

My cat goes outside whenever it wants to. My cat likes to go to the garden and rest under the trees. It is not nice if the cat is always indoors. I do not think cats are introverts. Cats are extroverts. Cats are highly playful animals. Cats are the incarnation of beauty, play and sport. Perhaps cats are the most jolly animals. When our cats go outdoors, then people from outside can also watch the cat and thus they can enjoy that sight. If the cat is always indoors, then outside people will miss the sight of the cat.

Our cat was a stray cat we took in. She's only friendly to a handful of people. She decided to liked my father in law best of everyone, and moved in to his house. But she reufused to use a litter box so she was an indoor/outdoor cat. Then after he was sent to the hospital she started pooping/peeing on ALL THE FURNITURE. The beds, the sofas, wherever she would just poop and not go outside. Now she is a 100% outside cat.

I guess the cat's inclination to whether they stay outside or inside the house depends upon how the cat owner has trained them. I bet dogs and cats are just the same? Our dogs stay and sleep with us in the room. They just go out to pee or poop. But I strongly believe that cats are meant to stay indoors. I don't know, just a thought from me.

I have one cat and she is strictly an outside cat. She just had babies so I guess I have more than I think I do. She was a feral cat that had babies across the street from my house. At the time my daughter had a couple of young cats outside. The mama cat must have staked out our house and decided it was a good place to raise babies because there was food over here. So one day she just moved them all over here and set them up under my house. I have so many cat tales I could tell but I won't right now. Anyway, I love cats but I don't like them living inside my house. I have a terrible allergy to cats for one thing but I still wouldn't want them inside anyway. They climb all over the place, even on kitchen counters. I just can't stand it. And I can't stand a litter box inside either. I sound so mean,I know, but I really do love cats, just not in my house.
