My boys are strictly indoors. I let them onto the balcony until Pouncer decided to fall off. Now thats off limits until he can learn to stay put (or he grows too big to fit through the railing spokes - whichever comes first! ) Allen is allowed to come out onto the back porch whle I'm out with Nicki. Pouncer used ot try to come out, but ever since the storms this week, he's been terrified of the outdoors, which is just fine with me.

Both cats are happy and loving. I'm sure that given the choice that they'd happily come and go, but that choice isn't availabel since I live right next to a major street. Its easy to imagine 1,000 cars by my house on a SLOW day (how else could people get to the outlet mall a block away? )
