Cat Doors

There are a variety of different cat doors available. Some open inward and outward, others only inwards, so the cat can enter but not leave the house. Some cat doors have a locking mechanism that would allow you to keep your cat indoors at night. The most sophisticated type of cat door is one that is activated by a magnet on your cat's collar, ensuring that no other animals will gain entry to your home.

Human Dangers

Why anyone would even think to harm, mistreat or torture cats is beyond me. Young children may bully a cat. Older children, teenagers, and some twisted adults may do much worse. Unfortunately, it's one of those sad facts of life.

Before you choose to keep your cat outdoors, take a long look at your neighborhood. How do the local children react to cats? What are the neighbors like? If you have any doubts, you might want to reconsider letting the cat outside. Bottom line, cats are safer and healthier kept indoors. It may sound a little paranoid, but any vet can tell you horror stories about animal abuse, so a little caution isn't a bad idea.

Cats are Explorers...

Cats are naturally explorative and inquisitive creatures. Their wild cousins creep through undergrowth, climb trees, bat at insects on water surface just to name a few adventures. Make sure you provide plenty of toys to stimulate your cat and consider rotating toys every few weeks to provide variety
