Do you have a cat door that the cats can go in and out by themselves?
If yes) I hope they can find it in a fire
if no) then the problem STILL exists.

I worry about this, but I can't run my life thinking EVERYDAY that this is going to be the day they die in a fire. Fish, reptiles, amphibians, birds or small mammals that are kept as pets in cages and dogs and cats who do not have their own doors are also at risk.

I am glad that NZ is so safe, But we here in the USA just cannot understand what we have never seen.
And the statistics that show the life span differences will, of course, not apply to each and every cat who ever lived.

Just for the record, I do not get angry at those who choioe to let their cats outside (oh yea, until I see a dead cat on the road) I just feel sad for them.
