We live in a suburb neighborhood but I have never had a completely indoor cat. I know, I know it is a big scary would but my cats lived to be older/middle aged. Including Spider, the siamese who hunted and roamed. She suffered the most tragic end, she was sleeping on top of the open garage door and got pinned breaking her back. My mom tearfully had to put my nearly 13 year old cat to sleep in late 2003. Sylvester vanished at 8 years old, he was so beautiful we have always assumed he was stolen because he had actually been taken and recovered once 6 months prior.

My husband's dad had a cat named Skitty that was indoor/outdoor. Lived to be dreadfully old at assumed age of 20.
