Yes, mostly because dogs, in general, can be easily fenced in. Cats, however, are much more wily.
- papsosouid 14y agoYes, I should have been more specific, as the research showing health problems is all on dogs. I would like to point out that indoor cats exist though.
- __david__ 14y ago> Yes, I should have been more specific, as the research showing health problems is all on dogs. Ah, fair enough. > I would like to point out that indoor cats exist though. They exist in theory :-). I've had a few indoor cats--Every single one has gotten out at some point (cats are pretty sneaky bastards). One wasn't spayed when she got out and was gone for a about 4 hours. Guess who was pregnant when she got back? Sigh...
- papsosouid 14y agoThey exist in practice too. I've had 9 indoor cats. I have not had any problems with escaping (only 3 of them have even had a desire to go outside at all).
- __david__ 14y agoWow, that's pretty impressive. Every cat I've had has had a desire to outside at some point. I had a couple that learned how to open the screen door! So we put an extra door hook on it and they figured out that if they rattled it enough they could pop the hook out and get the door open anyway.
- bluedino 14y agoOutdoor cats are a huge threat to wildlife as well. A skilled cat is capable of hunting just about anything in your backyard.
- derekp7 14y agoIn our case, we have a cat that one of the kids left at home, and she wasn't "fixed". Had her about a year or so. Recently, we had to take care of another cat for a couple weeks (a male, again with all his parts in tact). Didn't even think about it (had a bunch of other things going on at the time). Guess what happened?
