I jumped a little when I saw the Cat of the Day - beautiful Shadow. She looked like my "gone but never forgotten" male furry friend Shadow, who passed at 16 years old. Thank goodness Shadow found a loving home and is now safe and sound. I agree with the other catlovers who have said it is better to keep cats indoors. WE domesticated them (and many are now declawed, therefore have no defense). We don't let our dogs out without being on a leash, not just because it is the law, but also to protect them from harm. The numbers of cats who are killed each year, whether by cars, poison from non-catloving people, abusers, animal predators, and other unacceptable acts of cruelty - it is no longer an act of love to let them out to fend for themselves. It's just not safe anymore. It doesn't take long for a cat to get used to being indoors, and as long as they have windows to look outside, or a balcony with no danger of falling from it - they will live a longer, healthier life, that's a fact.

FYI - did you know that in most places if an animal is seen running loose, including cats and dogs, they are considered to be strays AND there are NO LAWS protecting them. People can harm them at will and will not pay any price whatsoever (see law S-203). And it happens, often. PLEASE get involved to change this - write to your local politicians and demand justice for our beloved furry friends who do not have the voice to stand up for themselves and are counting on us. If you love animals as much as I do, you are sick and tired of hearing the horrific acts perpetrated on these defenseless creatures by sick "inhuman" beings who we unfortunately share the Earth with. Our taxes pay their salaries (the politicians) so we have a right to INSIST that they represent US.

Thanks.
