i think you will be hard pressed to find a breeder who will allow outside. I have it expressly in my contract as well that its not allowed.

We fine $500 when we find a cat has been outside (only exceptions being harness-trained cats on a HANDHELD and non-retractable leash and cats being transported in carriers)

Allie,
How do you enforce the fine you impose on people who violate the contract?
I'm curious because I have a clause in my contract to impose a fine/fee if certain things aren't adhered to, but I've never had to go after someone for the money. I assume I'll have to go to small claims court.
We used to have indoor/outdoor cats but now I would never allow my cat to be outdoor. To much danger. My indoor cats are clean, and safe, and I don't have to worry about all kind of things they could get into being outdoors.Originally Posted by GoldenKitty45
I would agree that it depends on a lot of things. I know in England/Australia its common practice to have cats indoor/outdoor. But in the US, its pushed to be indoors. I feel its a lot safer in the long run. I suppose that if I was living/grew up in Australia, I could not imagine keeping the cats inside their entire lives.
You have pros and cons. IMO the cons kinda outweigh the pros
