I'm amazed at how many people still let their cats out to roam. I admit my last cats were indoor/outdoor, and lived 19 and 17 years, but as developers ate up the land and woods here in recent years, the small few acres of woods behind me is now inhabited by a coyote, a fox and hawk.
My two little guys now are strictly indoor cats, except if I take them outside with me for a bit. Breaks my heart that they can't enjoy the outdoors like the last two, but ya gotta do what ya gotta do if you love your pets. The thought of Beanie or Cecil in a predators jaws is horrifying to say the least!
