but humans have reason where animals have only instinct. would you let your dogs run free? yea YOU probably would. good reason why we have so many unwanted cats. just let em run and get more disease. spread the problem everywhere.

A couple people have said, "what about cars, and what about predators"? What about them? Sure they're out there. But I would NEVER keep my cats indoors for that reason. They need their freedom just like we do. Did your parents let you outside when you were kids? What about cars, what about predators? How would it have been for you if you didn't have that freedom. I think it's cruel to not let them outside. They're not just an object for us to enjoy in our houses. I also would never remove their claws like some people do. I believe in having them share their lives with us, as nature intended. Sure, they can get hit by cars, or killed by other animals, but that's the chances we take.

We just installed a pet door in our sliding glass door's screen door and are
trying to get our cats to use it with no success. If we hold it open for
them we can get 1 of them to walk through, but the other 3 are either scared
or confused by it. Can anyone give us any suggestions on how to train these
guys to use it?
Thanks,
