>> declawing and confining indoors.
I totally agree with your stand against declawing. I totally disagree with
your position on indoor cats.
When you think of all the bad things that happen to outdoor cats, how can
you possibly tell other cat owners that they are wrong for keeping their
cats indoors. Let me point out a few of these bad things.
1. Large canines, catkiller dogs and packs of coyotes are a very real
threat and thousands of cats are killed and maimed every year in your
city.
2. Cat hater adolescent boys who delight in torturing and killing cats
for
no other reason than their sick enjoyment.
3. Injuries from catfights, especially those catowners who are too selfish
or ignorant to have their cats de***ed.
4. Numerous feline diseases that indoor cats usually don't acquire.
5. A lot of missing cats are stolen, especially kittens and purebreds.
But, the most compelling reason why my cats are indoors cats is that I
don't
want to go pick up either one up off a road where they have been run over
by
a car. When I see any cat that has been killed by a car it bothers me a
lot.
I can still see in my mind a 6 month old cat lying dead in the parking lot
of my apts right outside my window a few weeks ago.
So, John is DEAD WRONG when he and his sister refuses to de*** his cat
and
tells others that they are wrong for keeping their cats safe indoors. You
know what John, you and your sister is full of it. If you cannot afford
de***ing there are places and organizations that will do it for free.If
you
two cannot find the time to take your cats to the vet for any reason then
you should not have cats.
Cats trust us with their lives and people like John and his sister betray
that trust.
