Cat Chat (please go to cat chat 2)

LMAO!

That is so untrue! The one I *tried*
to harness train as a kitten is the one
I can't walk outside safely! My two boys
{Both around 5-7 years, both found as
skittish strays} are very much harness
trained, and were harness trained at
a much older age!

And you have no idea where I live, so
how do you know I even live around other
people? I live 40 minutes from the closest
town, and live on 5 acres of land. My house
is directly below a vast expanse of forestry,
which is where I walk my cats.

Then don't walk it around dogs...?

Milo walked on a harness and leash for the first time when he was 12 years old, only then was he stable enough. He walks perfectly fine on a leash. Better than my two who were harness trained from kittens.

"The Winter Soldier"]I agree with talsr because there is no real proof that cats kill off wild life populations. There is also more proof that bring back bodies and objects as gifts cats do not just bring dead bodies back you know.[/quote]
What!? There have been entire populations killed by cats...

My cats get tons of indoor exercise and training, have lots of playmates, go for daily walks (unless it's cold as is now ughhhh) and they're on raw diets. They're extremely happy. I'd be a nervous wreck if my cats were outside and I couldn't see them. Just thinking about it makes me cringe. Parasites, being killed by bad people, dogs, or cats, getting hit by cars, big birds and my kitten, creeps looking for black cats to torture, people who would steal my Bengal, etc etc etc. No way x.x[/quote]


Show me the physical proof and science then i will believe then.

Also thank you for the information <3
I'm most likely going to stay to giving my cats kibble and wet food, but it was nice to learn about other options. And, seeing as one of my cats is allergic to quite a few things (resulting in having to buy very expensive allergin free food for him) I would be wary of switching him off of it. Thank you anyways though, and I'll probally ask my vet about it next time I go there.

A lot of time food allergies derive from the grain in crappy cat foods. That's how my one dog was, but he switched to a grain free food with zero problems.

Show me the physic as l proof and av risk science snd i will believe then.

Do a very simple google search lol.

The nice thing about raw, is it is literally just meat. You control all that goes in it is you make it homemade. You can make sure that cat never gets exposed to things he is allergic to. We have a cat that cannot eat grain, gluten, meat by-products, etc. The food that we feed is a ton more than we pay for raw for my cat, and we buy expensive premade stuff. Not only that, but raw has so many health benefits. I will never go back to kibble, or even canned, with my kitty!

[bat-husband]

I've had enough
I'm getting ganged up on, when it's wrong to put something on a cat, they are natural killers. And my cats are always kept watch on when let out, I let them out and watch them for a while, bring them inside, then a few hours later I let them out again. If they go beyond the spot they are allowed to go on, I bring the others inside and get the missing one, this has happened once. And every time my cat kills a mouse/bird etc. and they don't look so good, I take them straight to the vet. What's a life being caged up and trapped? Its like you guys basically are keeping your cat in a jail, only when they get to be let out they have a heavy uncomfortable thing on their body, and they have a limit to where they to. Cats don't deserve to be treated like this. In fact, if dogs were all trained to be kind and follow their owner, they wouldn't need leashed either.

End of statement,

Lack of physical proof and science that isn't just bunch of statistics makes me skeptical that this even true.

Google isn't always right fuzzy. So no i won't search it.


If you cannot provide a valid site in which you claim to have read all this fuzzy then i suggest not saying it at all.

Guys, can we please not have the indoor vs outdoor debate again? It's happened numerous times on this thread and someone always ends up feeling more than unwelcome. This is a children's website, remember, and is meant as a chat. There are pros and cons to each side and people have different circumstances.
