Thanks my cats growing up were in/out current cats are indoor only. |

The worst is waking up in the morning, opening the door, stepping into the hallway and then finding your bare foot in a pile of undigested moist cat food. Here's my lazy ass cats. The stupid one is the white one. http://photos-e.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos..._2569316_n.jpg http://photos-f.ak.fbcdn.net/photos-...47398_9785.jpg http://photos-e.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos..._5414173_n.jpg Bob |

The other cat, which was less social and didn't play much with the white cat while he was alive, has suddenly become affectionate and needy. She will sit and stare at the cupboard that he used to get into and hide, as if she's hoping he'll pop out of there. It's cute and sad. |

Bob As for wet catfood, neither of my cats will eat it. My black intelligent cat (her name is Chainsaw) doesn't throw up undigested catfood. |

I don't think that's true 100% of the time. There might be some predisposition, but my friends had a white cat with two blue eyes and he would come running in from the other room when he heard the shake of the Friskies treat bag or if you called his name, so he had at least one good ear. He was a bit sickly when he was a kitten though, and he died at only 9 years of age. Vet presumed it was some undiagnosed heart condition.

Hilarious. My cats both do the laser pointer/any click sends them hunting as well as throwing up whole food.
Both of mine were strays at one point, one a starved stray (below), he eats normal now though... |

Thanks I do recommend kitty partners, preferably from the same litter. Some cats are "only cats" though and they hate other cats. There's not that many of those kinds though. |

I do not recommend letting your cat outdoors ever. If you do it once, they will forever try to run out the door. Outside, they will get run over, tortured by people that need to be executed slowly, get killed by dogs, killed by racoons, kill all the birds in your neighborhood, and BREED. There are a fucking bazillion cats so the first thing you do, please fix it.

We encourage our cat to go outside and be social with other cats and also to catch birds. Unfortunately he sucks at catching birds, only brought back one but he got rewarded with lots of attention, treats and wetfood for that one so he should be more motivated to do better. |

Fuck the birds. Noisy shit machines. My cats go in and out as they please, but are in at night (around 9:30) for their own protection. Racoons and such will mess up a cat bad, and I don't need the vet bills.
ALL cats should be fixed, as a matter of course. But not letting them out is cruel. We have prisons for a reason - it's punishment. |

I've been thinking about pet insurance too. I bet it costs more for an outdoor cat like health insurance costs more for a smoker. |
