Now, I'm sure this cat owner is super careful with her cat being outside. It also seems like they have a pretty high fence so her fur baby may never go beyond it. But I'm not a big fan of outdoor cats and here's why.
Why You Need To Be Careful Letting Your Cat Outside
Any cat owner can tell you that at one time or another our cats try and sneak outside. I do have one cat who has never pulled this trick, and the second an outside door is open he runs the opposite direction. The rest of them would love a chance to go out, and I have taken them out, either in a pet playpen or with a leash and harness on. Just never on their own. As sweet as this love story is, I am always worried when cats go outside.
Indoor cats generally live longer than outdoor cats due to reduced risks of accidents, injuries, and exposure to diseases. How much longer? The average lifespan of an indoor cat ranges from 10 to 20 years, whereas cats who go outdoors typically live only 2 to 5 years. If you love your cat and you want to spend a lot of time with it, keep it inside where it's safe.
Your cat won't get hit by a car if it's an indoor cat. You know why? Cars don't drive in your house. Your cat also won't seek warmth in cold temperatures by crawling into a car engine.
Indoor cats are less likely to pick up creepy crawlies such as fleas, ticks, and intestinal worms, which are commonly found outdoors. No one wants to deal with a flea infestation.
Your cat is way less likely to be picked up by animal control or a good samaritan who thinks they are a stray and brings them into your local shelter if they are an indoor cat. And speaking of your cat being picked up by a stranger, if your cat is inside there won't be any sort of awful person who could pick up your cat and hurt them. It's horrible to think of, but people have been known to hurt or even kill stray cats.
Unless your cat is under your supervision, it's just a better idea to keep them safe and sound, inside.
