house cats ?

house cats, is it fair to keep cats inside at all times ?

My 2 are housecats and are not in the slightest bit bothered. We don't have a garden but they do go out on the balcony when they want to. One is epileptic so even if I decided to make them outdoor cats, he would still need to stay in. He'd be far too vulnerable out on his own.

That made me LOL when i read it ;0> x

Some cats don't want to go outside. Trust me, we tried so hard with Sooty but she just wont budge!! She's about as stubborn as they come!

I know erin. My non epileptic cat ripped me to shreds when i once tried to take him outside. He's perfectly happy indoors.

I must say I really dont like the idea of house cats, im not even a lover of cats!

My two were indoor cats when I got them - they were 18 months old - and it suited me as I live in a city centre. I think that if they have always been indoor cats they know no different.

My flat is big and on two floors - they hare around trying to murder each other and generally doing normal 'cat stuff'. They will be 7 in June (29th June if my little brother reads this).

I couldn't keep my two Houdinis in if I try!!! They are true escapologists! And love the outdoors! Watching birds, chasing each other, climbing trees and catching mice! Never had a house cat! Though they do worry me when they wander too far and I lock them in each night away from foxes as they have both been chased!
