kingdrake2 05/19/19 1:07:12 PM #52:	InTheEyesOfFire posted... Depends on the cat. Some are just that type and others arent. Surprise surprise, like humans, each cat is different. If you let your cat outdoors and dont do preventatives or even a fucking leukemia vaccine, then yes, youre a cruel bastard. i couldn't tame the outside spirit out of the cat. did have 2 minor incidents unrelated to the outdoors. broken jaw (incident 1) and abscessed tooth (incident 2) both times had to bring to the vet but it was happy regardless she lived about 10 years until cancer got her. the broken jaw incident was due to a "california driver" she kept speeding into the driveway and the cat was in the way. it was lucky it survived. the abscessed tooth incident just happened she could of lost an eye (had to give eye drops and antibiotics for a week). she was an easy patient though i had to keep her indoors for that week. --- God was literally #MeToo'd because Mary "didn't give consent," so now God is a literal rapist, but there's no war on Christmas - CronoDyne <cite>kingdrake2 posted [p:922096669] in Is keeping...

Lil_Bit83 05/19/19 1:09:15 PM #53:	We did have one outdoor cat sort of. He was a stray who just wandered into the backyard, refused to leave, was named and fed. He couldn't come in because my grandma is horribly allergic. He was also really mean. Most attempts at petting ended up with a clawed hand. I did cry the night he was killed by another cat. --- 2DS FC tempest 1478 9807 1205 <cite>Lil_Bit83 posted [p:922096731] in Is keeping...

cmiller4642 05/19/19 3:52:18 PM #63:	Considering cats prefer to sleep for 16 hours a day, I don't see the problem in keeping it indoors. Mine is totally indoors and rotates "spots" where he watches birds and things outside. Then he has rooms in my apartment that he likes to hide in sometimes.

Cornmuffins 05/19/19 4:07:49 PM #68:	My current cat came walking down the street one night. He was only a kitten, but fixed. I tried to find an owner but no one was looking for him. Anyway hes indoor/outdoor and if wants out I let him otherwise he knocks shit down until I let him out. My other cat, who we just put down at ~17 would only go in the backyard during the summer. --- Getting C's and D's, saying thanks and please.
