WHAT AN INDOOR CAT MISSES! (Learning to walk your cats and dogs on a leash!)


Being Stolen...   (and to often sold to a Laboratory, to be Hideously Exploited!
Being Hit By A car
Getting Lost
Fights With Other Cats, Dogs, Skunks, Raccoons, or Other Animals
Fleas, Ticks, Worms, And Exposure to Rabies, Parvo, and Other Serious Disease
Possible Neighbor Complaints
Getting It's Collar Caught and Choking or Hanging
Cruel People Mistreatment and Abuse
Salmanilla and Other Poisoning from Garbage Cans, Pesticides, and Drinking Water from the Gutters
Rain, Wind, and Extreme Hot or Cold Temperatures
Animal Traps
Capture by Zealous Animal Control Officers ...   (Some S0-CALLED Shelters Sell Lost Pets to Laboratories!)
Becoming Prey for Coyotes, Predatory Birds, or Other Wildlife
Drowning in Swimming Pools
Fear and Loneliness
Being Trapped in a Garage with no Food or Water
Foxtails and Stickers that get into Eyes, Nostrils, and Ears, and often must be Surgically Removed
Going under Car Hood for Warmth and Privacy, and Becoming Victim of Fanbelts, Fans, or Spark Plug Shock

Never Chain Animals Outside, Where they are Easy Prey to Wild Animals or Cruel People
Never Chain a Pet near a Garage Door, as even the Rattle of a Key can sometimes cause the Garage Door to Come Down, often Crushing many a Panicked Pet!

Outdoor Cats Live Only 2 Years on Average! An Indoor Cat Lives to an Average of 15 Years!

If you do want to take your Cat outdoors, Please do so as you would do with your Dog. Cats and Kittens can be trained with Patience, to walk on a leash.

This list was taken from a list sent to me by one of the many Animal Welfare groups, called
Cats In Need. it's website is: www.CATSINNEED.COM

I already belong to Alley Cat Allies, (and personally can not take on another of the same catagory)  ... I belong to over 12 groups now! But this Organization Deserves To be Respected for its Responsible Literature, and if I could join 'two of the same catagory' I would definitely 'Check this one out!'

Alley Cat Rescue Inc. (also known as The National Cat Protection Society) in Washington D.C. is also another fine organization in need of funds!

Yes, our cats "Love" to watch the birds from their favorite window in the condo. We built a cat perch onto the windowsill for them. Now and then a bird will fly over to playfully tease... the cats get a kick out of that!

I "love" your new picture!

I love when she starts to chitter chatter in excitement. and the tails starts thumping. Mine has a tree near a window and several shelf perches too.

Yes, I know what you mean! Funny how they are entertained by watching the birds, and we are entertained by watching our cats, (and dogs.) I once was staying at a cabin rental for a week! The people that owned the cabin let their cat outdoors alone, and I spotted it with a "bird in it's mouth!" I gently approached it, and thankfully it did not run off! I removed the bird from it's mouth, and it did not move at first! I thought it was dead or wounded, but it was actually in shock! I lay it down where the cat could not reach it, and in about five to seven minutes, I was "Stunned" to see it fly off, perfectly unharmed! That little cat, obviously just wanted to see if she could catch the bird, but thankfully was not hungry, and even more thankfully, did not bite down on it! My cockapoo pooch, picks up goffers in the same gentle way! Just to play with them! They know her, and are not at all afraid of her! It is quite amazing! They are friends!

Abster usually comes when I call her  but one morning she would not budge from the dining room where she ever so regally sat. I kept watching her and she was sitting on a moth. when i moved her, the moth fly away through a door I opened for it. Abi whined. gotta love such gentle torturers.

Them "Crazy Meowers!" Catiga somehow got himself up to the top of my closet, and behold... there he was with his "little whisker puss" sticking out from under one of my hats! It was a cowboy hat!
