You know, when I adopted Barliman, the rescue org. that I got him from was VERY adamant about all of their cats being inside-only. I expected lots of lectures about declawing, but didn't get a single one. There was a no-declaw clause in the contract, but that was it. But the inside thing? Whew! Talking to the lady on the phone: "Is Rizzo indoors only?" "Yes." "Will Sadiki be indoors only?" "Yes." "I see that you live in an apartment. When you buy a house, will you still keep them indoors only?" "Yes!" And then, when they called my references, the only two things they asked? "Do they take good care of their cat?" and "Do they keep him inside?" ! I found it a bit odd, myself. Does anyone know if that's a usual thing for a cat rescue? It seemed like their pet issue. If you'll pardon the expression.
