What could happen? just want to know the dangers he faces where you live, to make me glad that Boyfie doesn't. Children with BB guns. And pterodactyls. Pfff, he is fairly safe then. |

I put crunchies out for Chollie, and saw Little Boy prancing around the courtyard. Well, I was in shorts and a tshirt, so I went after Little Boy, which resulted in one fulkl round of the building, in 40F degree weather. I got up and walked to the door, telling him that running out was bad behavior the whole way back to the door. I told him what a brat he is, and that I love him even when he's a brat... Is it very dangerous outside for him? What could happen? just want to know the dangers he faces where you live, to make me glad that Boyfie doesn't. Is it traffic? Mountain lions, bears? Us Brits know y'all have alligators and all that in the USA. To be fair, alligators are limited to very few parts of the USA. But there were two confirmed reports on a nearby island of two rabid raccoons. That's not something you want your cat (or dog) to tussel with, either. Jill |

A raccoon killed my sister's cat several years ago, and it most likely was perfectly healthy. Poor Peter, he was a sweetheart. -- Joyce Cats are rather delicate creatures and they are subject to a good many ailments, but I never heard of one who suffered from insomnia. -- Joseph Wood Krutch |

Jill I think it's possible for a cat to have an anti-rabies shot in the USA. We don't need it here. |

I thought you were in Texas, so kitties should be cautious of children with shotguns, but not of pterodactyls. Things have changed. Pterodactyls used to live far south of the US, but they've been slowly migrating north and have been seen in several southern US states such as Texas and Florida. It's like killer bees.

Everyone I know who has indoor/outdoor cats has them vaccinated against rabies. When I was younger, every cat or dog that came into the UK had to stay in quarantine for 6 months in case it had rabies.So we didn't get it here. We don't have rabies here because of that |
