Outdoor Cat Facts!

The average life span of a cat that goes outdoors is less than two years, while an indoor cat often lives to be sixteen years old.

We recommend keeping your cat indoors at all times.  If you do, you increase his chances of living to a ripe old age.  He will not become lost, stolen, or injured by a car or another animal.  He also won't pick up fleas or other parasites (ticks, ear mites, worms), or become exposed to a number of conta­gious, deadly diseases like feline leukemia, infectious peri­tonitis and rabies.

If you absolutely feel that your cat must go out and that your neighbor­hood is safe, make sure that you have him spayed or neutered first and buy an expandable collar with an I.D. tag in case he gets lost. 

Most cats are very happy indoors if they get enough attention and exercise.

Indoor cats, and kittens especially, are active and need lots of toys and stimulation. We recommend climbing toys, scratching posts, and sturdy toys like ping-pong balls and empty spools.
