You'll have to go outside your house and have to make specific time to play with your cat. Fair enough if you do it every day rain or shine.Originally posted by Kfamr
I appreciate your opinion, but i just don't understand it.
And I guess you don't understand that the cat would get just as much love and attention as an inside cat would.
And it's not necessarily going to be a "cage". The area where the enclosure would go up, is like the size of the rooms in this house.
I don't understand how it would be selfish. I wouldn't get an animal "just because". I'd get it to love, and to care for, and to give it a better home than it has at the shelter.
So whilst you are at school, with friends, doing homework, eating meals, talking on the phone, playing with your dog, doing chores.
Your cat will be sat outside bored.
A real inside pet would be able to see you all the time you are at home and would still need specific play times but cats enjoy being with their owners and if you cage a cat in the backgarden they'll not bond with you.
Placing a cat in an outside run for 20 years is cruel in my opinion.
There is no benefit to a cat to move from a shelter cage, to one in a garden.
What about spending the two hours a day you would have to spend with your cat in the garden and spend that time helping out at your local shelter. In that way it would be just like having your own cat, until you have the space for an inside cat !!!
PS. If you go ahead with this plan, get a minimum of two cats then they'll have feline companion all day.
