Broader adoption of keeping cats safe at home would have large benefits for cat welfare, human health, local wildlife and even the economy. So, should cat owners be required to keep their pets contained to their property?

The answer to the question is obviously “yes”.

    Well there you have it dumb dumb.

    But seriously I thought cats were like tigers or any other big cat and would prefer an open environment rather than a zoo type setting. At least being able to go outside they get both

      Cats are to tigers as dogs are too wolves. They all would like to roam around freely. We don’t generally want people to let their dogs roam though.

      I have a cat and a dog. The dog gets to go out unsupervised for short periods, but he digs so I mostly go outside with him. I take the cat out several times a day and she wishes I’d let her out more. But I don’t want her killing stuff so I make sure she has plenty of toys and entertainment inside too.
