Kitty advice

[Irulan]

Consider keeping it 100% indoors. The statistic on cat death through cars and other encounters is very high. The hunting they do, while instinctual, is fairly devastating to the bird population. And lets not forget that roaming cats generally make the neighbors unhappy by pooping in their flower beds and going after the birds they are watching.

The solution I like is the fully enclosed outdoor kitty runs: they can be out and observe, but not roam and kill. It's humane and keeps them safe yet interacting with the outdoors.

confession: I am a bird watcher who is really sick of my neighbors cats lurking under the nests in my yard, and encountering cat poop in my gardens. If my pets hung out in your yard and I never cleaned up after them, how would you feel?
