| Comment | Last straw for us was when my cat was bitten by a larger animal, probably either a small fox or a dog. She’s very fluffy and it was a small puncture wound so we didn’t even notice until it had become infected. One emergency surgery, two rounds of antibiotics, a cone of shame and nearly £700 later and we decided it was cruel to keep letting her go outside unattended. As far as I’m concerned, any rescue that wants their cats to go outside should be willing to pay the vet bills if and when something like that happens. My cat is also perfectly content to watch birds from inside. I feel no guilt about the decision to keep her indoors. |
