.amen to that!....having had two cats disappear without a trace, i decided
i would never go thru that heartache again....i have two indoor only cats who never have fleas, never get into fights, will never be eaten by coyotes or raccoons, and will never be run over by a car....they are happy, healthy animals Oh my yes! On average they live much, much longer than outdoor cats with a pretty good chance of having real quality of life in the later years - pretty darn good life actually! Our kitty is scared to even venture near the door and in her 16th year (hold on, doing math...) 15th.... she has awesome health and spends all of her time in my oldest son's room looking out the window, facing off between the glass with the gerbil and playing with her toys. Once cats hit that "geriatric" or "senior" age at 7-8 years old the difference in the outdoor vs. indor cats in our practice is quite obvious. But in any case - ain't cats grand? We have a Pity Kitty hanging around our desks these days who was brought in by a good samaritan with about 3/4 of her right side burned, we think by a car engine. She's the best. The good ones always find you! -Sharon |
