After reading that, I recant my post dated 02/12/2003. Thanks Susan.

Nice restaurant, too bad I live 4078 KM (2533 miles) away.

I beg your pardon, but it IS a pet. Some people's pets go outside. Read my
reply to Donald Ferrt. I wasn't expecting unsolicited advice or a debate
about having indoor or outdoor cats. Also, thank you for your advice on the
question I did ask, you all have been very helpful.

If you live in an area where, for whatever reason, you feel unable to
allow a healthy cat its freedom to roam for at least some time each
day (and only you can judge your area) then don't have a cat. To have
a healthy cat, knowing you will keep it in 24/7 marks you are being
cruel, selfish, or both.



Laws in the USA forbid cats wandering outside.


Laws are mad by humans. You allowed a law to be passed that ill-treats
cats. Your acceptance of that law makes you an abuser as well.

A cat found loose,
outdoors, in most municipalities here will be taken in by Animal
Control.

Houses equipped with enclosed patios or pools or a large walk in
enclosure in a yard are few, especially in the Nawth. Plus most
people
can't afford this. Nor people living in apartments.


Caging a cat is NOT acceptable treatment.

But you would deny a cat a home because it would have to be kept in.


No, I would deny an unsuitable home a cat.

Now *that's* cruel.

Healthy cats abound here -- indoors. Outside cats here are dead.
Or will be.

THAT'S abuse.
