Isn’t it a lot easier to have the cat eliminate outdoors?
Some cat owners who do not want to deal with the hassles of litter boxes choose to let their cats go outside. However, studies would show that cats who were allowed to go outside has an average life expectancy of less than 3 years only compared to a cat that stays strictly indoors who expects to live to the ripe old age of 15-18 years. This is due to accidents, attacks from other animals or being taken.
