Despite the politically correct ideas of some, he is a free cat; he undoubtedly knows the risks of exercising that freedom but chooses to take his chances. His adventures should have done him in long ago but he keeps bouncing back with nine lives and more, although his day will certainly and inevitably come - though, let us pray, not until far into the future. When it does come, however near or distant, he will have had a far richer and more fulfilling existence than if he had allowed the safe course to be forced upon him.

Take his chair and suffer the consequences, for as soft as he is inside, within the softness itself there is a rock-hard, tough, core and woe be to he who misjudges, crosses the line and trips that hardness and toughness.

Trumpy Oscar Simba Fluffy Hogan: sounds like America.
I AGREE SOOOO MUCH!!!
When we had three cats, Naomi was the one that would ask in the evening to be let outside. How could I force her to stay inside, if she liked it so much? Well, she was going only to the attick of our 10- storey building, but we never tried to limit her freedom. The other two cats were perfectly happy inside.
We want to give our little creatures happiness, not restrict them from it.
