Really, my last 2 lived to over 17 years old. Were allowed out all their lives.
Very nice article. Although admits more research is needed. It touches on all the important issues.
I was already aware of all these 'risks' of letting my cat out.
It also looks at the benefits of letting cats out and problems with keeping cats indoors.
On reflection. I will continue to let my cats out as they want. I feel it improves their welfare.
Is it better to shelter them from danger and life experiences in favor of longer lifespan, or better to let them live their lives outside knowing they may have less time here?
Who am I to say. To each their own. Always go with what feels most right to you!
