Theyre animals, their instincts will enable them to survive. Unless you live somewhere with shitty weather I dont see the big deal.


TC is a troll but this post is so wrong. Cats dont have instincts to avoid getting run over by cars, killed by wildlife or kidnapped by people.

Our first cat was an outdoor cat. He died of feline leukemia after getting in a fight with an infected cat. He was only 4. It was a painful thing to watch him die, he really suffered. I vowed not to let cats outside after that.

My brother got a cat a couple of years later. I begged him not to let it out but he did. Cat disappeared and it was only a year old.

He got another cat after that and he kept indoors. But one day he was negligent and the cat escaped out the front door. It never came home. It was about 4.

My husband had 2 cats before I met him. He let them out all the time. They disappeared about a year later.

My cousin had an outdoor cat. It would stay out for days and bring home birds it caught. A real predator type. It was killed by coyotes after a few years outside.

Its honestly negligent of owners to just assume cats have these super instincts that allow them to survive. Your cats just got lucky but statistics show indoor cats have far longer lifespans.
