The cats DesertArabian mentioned in the above post are my cats, and to clarify, I have had indoor only cats all of my life UNTIL last year when we finally sprang for the cat fence. Dudley got to the ripe old age of 10 before he was allowed to venture out "loose" into the fenced yard. Before that they went outdoors (not often) on harnesses, or with me standing next to them one at a time to explore a little of the front yard ("herding" them with a broom 
). Technically my cats are indoor/slightly outdoor, since they can't roam out of the yard and we close the cat flap in the winter so they have to stay inside.
I can't believe IRescue452 OWNS a cat and yet would be perfectly fine with shooting one. 
IRescue452, I sure hope your sacred indoor cat never accidentally slips out the door and takes off on you one day - considering you may have some really HOSTILE, judgmental neighbors........ 
The legend says that Mohammed adored cats. When one of them was sleeping on his sleeve and he had to go out, Mohammed supposedly cut off the sleeve so as not to disturb his pet.
