Kuhio was an indoor/outdoor kitty and she lived for 17 happy, healthy years. Naturally, she was current on her shots because of coming in contact with other animals. We live in a quiet area with a large backyard. Behind our house is a 40-acre swamp. Kuhio knew every inch of it. She also was free to roam our acreage up in the mountains. An owl almost got her once and she caught an ermine once (she was not very happy with me when I took it away from her so it could escape).

If your kitty is going to come in contact with other cats and animals, make sure to keep their shots current. All 3 of our current kitties are indoor/outdoor. The only one we don't let out unsupervised is Cammie because she insists on trying to cross the street. The other two don't like the front of the house (where the road is) at all. They prefer the back yard.
