Cats do belong outside.
No, they don't.
As long as they're healthy and the area is safe.
If you're referring to going outside in their backyard, with their human walking them on a lead, then, yes! Otherwise, no.
If you're under the impression that cats are somehow, magically able to be outside without meeting any harm, you're woefully misinformed. As I've already pointed out, there are NUMEROUS dangers--some intentional (like cruel people), some not (like antifreeze innocently left out...where an animal can drink it). Then there are multi-thousand pound vehicles, predators, disease, and a slew of other dangers. If you've never experienced the anguish of losing a cat to a car vs cat collision, you're lucky. I did, back when *I* had no control over keeping my cat indoors (my family was very old-fashioned and thought cats NEEDED to go outside). Just a few years ago my mother's neighbor found the remains of her cat in the street in front of her house; a coyote had eaten him for dinner during the night. She, too, was old-fashioned and didn't believe in keeping cats indoors...where they're safe.
But the dogs didn't and the a-holes who owned them should of got HARD prison time! They used those dogs to murder that woman in cold blood! And riding around on an ATV!? Nobody helped her until it was too late. I can see her dilemma about living somewhere 20 years and then having a couple of jerks move in next door and ruin your life. I've been there. In my case I moved. But she had a case against them and the idiot judge more or less killed her too. I probably would of bought a gun if the idiot judge and cops didn't help and that would be the end of that!
Everyone failed her. You're right about the idiot judge! And the jerks who deliberately let their dogs out, knowing they would attack, got off with almost NO JAIL TIME. Unbelievable.
