Indoor vs. Outdoor Dilemma
Wow. Well thanks to all of you for your replies. Your conclusions
seem pretty decisive: *if* I open the windows, figure out some way to keep the cats inside of them. I'm sure that's what I'll do. Thanks for your input! |

I'm sure that's what I'll do. Thanks for your input! One more data point is that your cats might not even want to go outside. Bubba the Maine Coon won't go out the door for anything. I can barely coax him out to sit with me on the patio. If I pick him up and carry him out he'll look around a bit and then head back inside. I think he had a bad experience the last time he was out that landed him in the shelter, where I found him. Claude |

Indoor vs. Outdoor Dilemma
wrote in message
oups.com... I know the general topic has _certainly_ been addressed here a million times, but I'd like to hear some brainstorming on how I can get around the problem in my own future situation. My wife and I have three cats (2-3 years old) that were raised entirely as happy, laid-back indoor cats. In a couple months, we should be moving, though, and it looks like we'll be moving into an old Craftsman bungalow (rental) that has old windows that open outwards, and no frame for screens. Thanks for any replies! Andrew You can fence off all or part of your garden so you cats can't escape with something like Friendly fencing. Alison |

Indoor vs. Outdoor Dilemma
I saw a friend today and inquired how their cat "Annie" (a small tuxedo
cat) was. They told me Annie was gone. She was an inside/outside cat and they believe she got caught by a bobcat. So sad. ---MIKE--- In the White Mountains of New Hampshire (44° 15' N - Elevation 1580') |
