My life line of outdoor cats.

Hi i am a person who gone through almost 50 cats in my life so i know what i am talking about.

The story starts with my cats always being outdoors unsupervised and just living normal lives. i never thought cats were ever kept indoors and i would thought it was cruel. i would see cats always on the window looking at the outside world and it always puzzled me why my cats never did that. But all that changed when i have to foster two beautiful cats a boy and girl indoor cats.

That's when it hit me and i realized the cats that have been indoors are the ones who are dieing to feel the free world. They were cleaner then my cats because they don't go outside and they were in a way stuffed toys. They relied on me all the time and followed me (in my case very irritating) and did nothing other than to think of food.

I had to always keep the kitchen door locked so they don't get out and so my other cats can come in to feed and sleep. But the place i wanted to go to in the story was that the indoor cats were very aggressive, unpredictable, non social and bored to death. while my cats were always happy to see me and tired after exploring around and sleep with me or in most cases next to me because i prefer it. my outdoors cats in my case go and play or hang around my neighbors cats (which are all spayed females and males so they don't fight at all).

They wont treat like a cat but they will treat you like you are a dominate cat our a parent. My last boy that i have with me loves to play outside or shall i say roam around and play with all the neighborhood cats which they all like him they don't tended to like each others. He is so social and doesn't kill at all because i trained him not to play around the aviary or chase the chooks.

Every time he comes in the house which is about several times i don't feel like my pet is inside again i fell like a friend who doesn't even have to come to see me comes in and rolls around with excitement and joy to see unlike an indoor which properly is thinking here's that guy again. I truly would never make my cats indoor cats.

One other thing is if your cat didn't grow up playing outside with you other cats and has been a indoor cat try to take it very slowly if you intended them to learn the outdoors. its like teaching an elderly a new language that they never heard of before. Make sure they see the the doctor every 2-3 moths for a check up.

Indoor cats are tired of seeing us as we are of them, outdoor cats are pleasured to see us as we are to see them. My boy runs to me when i come home and rolls around and wants me to pick him up, its is true what they say a friend(outdoor cat) is always enjoyable then your sibling(indoor cat). One more information Outdoor cats are well behaved then indoors.
