Its not natural for cats to be inside all of the time. How can I deny my cat the pleasure and stimulation of being outdoors?
A. Cats are domestic animals and do not need to be outside to be content. There are many hazards to being outdoors that may shorten your cat’s life or cause your cat to become seriously injured or ill. Indoor cats can get plenty of pleasure and stimulation if they are regularly played with and receive lots of affection. If you still want your cat to experience the outdoors, but without the risks, you can train your cat to go outside on a harness and leash or build a cat enclosure.
