I wondered how many of you on the board have indoor cats?
I have 2 kitties, Jasmine (an indoor cat) and Jasper (a stray which we took in recently that does go out - there's no stopping him!)
Jasmine is 3 years old and has always been an indoor cat since being a kitten. She does, however go for a walk every evening with me on a special cat harness and lead - much to the amusement of the neighbours!!
I often feel cruel keeping her in for the majority of the day....but given where we used to live and the busy roads...it was my only sane option...having seen many road casualties there. We now live in a more cat friendly area...but I feel it would be too much of a shock now to let her out as she isn't 'street-wise'.
Do any of you also keep indoor cats and, if so, how do they get on?:blubturq:
