Re: Would it be cruel/unfair to make a kitten be an indoor only cat?


I've had indoor only cats for years. I think it's actually much more common here in the states for it to be suggested you keep your cats indoors, a good number of people do. Cats are very adaptable and my cats are very content being indoors. They will be fine provided you give them a suitable indoor environment.

Re: Would it be cruel/unfair to make a kitten be an indoor only cat?


When I got George and decided that for various reasons he would have to be a house cat, I actually asked my vet if I was being cruel keeping him inside, when their natural instinct is to be outside. I was assured by the vet that it would not be detrimental to him at all. I must say though that I did end up getting him Milly about a month after. This was more because I felt guilty than because of any problems with him. As well as toys and things to entertain them, they also have each other to chase round lol
