I have made no more disrespectful jabs to people who keep there cats indoors than others have made towards owners who allow there cats outside. I just mentioned some of the proven negative issues that could affect an indoor cat. I haven't said that people who keep their cats inside don't love their cats. I also did not have you in mind when I said the 'hurt card'. I have also read enough posts to feel that the opinion on here is unbalanced and quite off when it comes to the indoor/outdoor kitty, enough to defend the choices of the people who choose to allow there cats outside. I don't see why I should just accept the rude comments when it is fuelled only by ignorance. There are areas that are unsuitable to allow a cat outside but my area is not unsuitable. If it was I would either move especially if I live around people who set fire to animals or I would keep him in but thankfully that is not my circumstance and goldenkitty has my sympathy to live somewhere like that, but I don't.Originally Posted by Arlyn
I agree, but those posters are in the minority on this site as most understand and respect that things are different across the pond, therefore, I was not playing the 'hurtcard' as you put it.
Those (most) that do strongly advocate indoor only are only speaking from personal experience, not making purposefully disrespectful jabs as yours seemed to be.
I feel I have made the right choice for my cat just like most of us on here and I don't see why I should constantly have to defend that.
