Can you provide articles I can read to update myself?
- devmor 3y agoCertainly. Here are a few articles from reputable sources: - https://spca.bc.ca/faqs/indoor-cats-vs-outdoor-cats/ https://spca.bc.ca/faqs/indoor-cats-vs-outdoor-cats/ - https://www.animalhumanesociety.org/resource/are-outdoor-cats-happier https://www.animalhumanesociety.org/resource/are-outdoor-cat... - https://www.banfield.com/en/Wellness-at-banfield/kitten-hub/indoor-vs-outdoor-cats https://www.banfield.com/en/Wellness-at-banfield/kitten-hub/... And because I found it interesting, this study that aligns more with your point of view that concluded that cats who are allowed to roam do get more intellectual fulfillment than indoor-only cats on average: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10451177/ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10451177/ I would also like to note that I have seen firsthand how much cats infected with FIV and FeLV suffer when not actively treated, and all other considerations aside, I would never let my cats roam outside without a leash because of the prevalence of those diseases alone.
- tetris11 3y agoThanks for these -- I guess supervised outdoor activities might be good compromise
