As I have said many times before,it is the norm to have indoor/outdoor cats in my country NZ, indoor are hardly even heard of , and here people would think it were cruel and as your hubby said an injustice.

Both mine are indoor/outdoor and are kept in at nights, however since being a member of PT, I have come to the conclusion indoors is a great idea, as long as you have some kind of air conditioning for the hot weather, and my only other problem is if there is a fire, then the animals are trapped, but I suppose the outdoors poses more threats especially in the USA.

We in NZ donot have wild wolves,coyotes etc, but of course we have other hazards just the same.

It is not practical where I am just now to make an outdoor enclosure , but if I ever shift I plan to do so, so in answer to your question it may well be more of an injustice to let them outside.

Moste Pt'ers have indoor cats, and I had never heard of cats being strictly indoors before, so it was all new to me.
