Outdoor Cat?

[sasha the cat]

Dear Fellow Cat Chatters,

For all of us who love cats (and all animals) I am asking cat people to reconsider allowing their beloved, treasured cats to be "outdoor" cats.

A cat faces great dangers being an "outdoor" cat and I personally believe one who has a pet must be responsible for the safety of the pet.

WARNING: This is a horrific story about three so-called human males who tortured Kensington to death in the Kensington Market area of Toronto, Canada. I submit it in the hope that cat lovers will protect their felines by keeping them indoors where they are safe.

My fervent wish is the sickos who did this will meet a similar fate...the sooner, the better! May misery and pain be their lot in life.

My darling Sasha was abandoned; thankfully she found us. At first Sasha did not like being an indoor kitty but today she does not try to run out the door when it is opened. Sasha has learned that loving humans who care for her saved her from bratty boys who teased her; speeding cars, dogs, poison bait people put on their lawns, etc. She is happy being inside where from the windows she can monitor her territory without getting into battles with other animals. No sickos have an opportunity to harm Sasha; alas, Kensington was not an indoor cat.
