If cats are kept inside from the time they are kittens, they have no trouble staying inside. I've have 10 cats over the past 30 or so years (yes, I do know that this calls my sanity into question), all of them were well-adjusted to living inside, and all that have died lived to at least 16 years of age. Not many outdoor cats make it to that age because of early death by car, coyote, injuries, or disease. (Somewhat) respectfully, your attitude is archaic, uninformed, and not looking at the big picture. What's better, a house-bound cat that is safe and healthy or a prematurely dead cat that got to play in the grass?

A lifelong Portsmouth resident, Jim graduated from Portsmouth High School in 1982 and earned a journalism degree from the University of Rhode Island in 1986. He's worked two different stints at East Bay Newspapers, for a total of 18 years with the company so far. When not running all over town bringing you the news from Portsmouth, Jim listens to lots and lots and lots of music, watches obscure silent films from the '20s and usually has three books going at once. He also loves to cook crazy New Orleans dishes for his wife of 25 years, Michelle, and their two sons, Jake and Max.
