5 Reasons Your Cat Should Be An Indoor Cat.
Reason #1: Vehicles.
As stated above, a lot of times cats that are hit by cars are never seen or heard from again by their owners. It takes luck for them to find out. A cat that is hit by a car is usually either, continuously hit by many cars until it is no longer recognizable as a cat, or it is knocked to the side of the road where it is picked up eventually by the city. But it could be worse. I hate to get too gruesome, but I've heard of this happening. Sometimes a cat gets hit during a snowstorm. I know nobody wants to imagine their cat being plowed away.
Reason #2. Weather. For some reason i can't understand, people seem to think cats can survive in any weather. And for the most part, they do. Cats that know the neighborhood well, are able to find hiding places to keep warm in the cold weather. But THEY ARE NOT IMMUNE TO COLD! Leaving a cat out in the winter is cruel. Do you think at 3 in the morning you are going to hear the cat at the door? Because it's left it's hiding spot to find warmer shelter? Yes a cat has a coat. But would you like to be left outside in 5 degree weather with a coat on for the night?
Reason #3. Predators. Cats are intelligent, resourceful creatures. But when a cat is faced with another animal, who hunts in order to survive, the cat's chances of out-running or defending itself against the predator are not very good. It also doesn't need to be a "hunter" that attacks the cat. The cat could come up against a rabid raccoon, which brings me to my next reason.
Reason #4. Disease. If you keep your cat an indoor cat, you control it's environment, and you know what environmental factors could get it sick. When your cat goes outside it could be exposed to many diseases or toxins, and you wouldn't have a clue what was wrong with it when it came home. Lime disease, feline aids, rabies, or maybe it laps up some coolant from under your car. Also, if you've never had fleas, let me tell you, that it makes you absolutely hate to even go into your own house.
Reason # 5. Thieves. Yes believe it or not, there are people out there who will take your cat. For whatever reason. Maybe your neighbor got sick of the cat going into the flower garden, so it catches the cat and calls animal control. Maybe someone else just lost their cat and can't afford a new one for their little girl or boy. Or worst of all, every year around halloween, MANY black cats go missing. Many stores and shelters no longer have black cats available in October. There are so called "religions" that believe they have to sacrifice a black cat on halloween, or more realistically, sickos looking for an excuse.
