well...I feel that everyone has a right of speech .. and if some pet talk members feel strongly against having cats outside (like myself) I think we should be able to say it, my humble opinion.

Maybe I missed the part where people were saying bad things about those who keep their pets outside, but of course that is and exception and I don't think we should be saying things about PT members ..

I agree! I've never known any PTers to speak poorly of the other members for allowing their cats outside. I've just seen debates where each side states their reasoning. Most of the time it stays fairly calm and polite .. sort of ... er maybe not

We all have our opinions on the subject, which is fine, but I'm sick to death of new threads being started about it This is what, the fifth thread like this in the last week???

AGREED 100% !!!!!!!!!!

A rude way? So now you see me being rude but not other members posting to me??

Well, I suppose telling people to "Listen Up" and "Stop" on a public message board could come across as being rude.

Just asking nicely without the "listen up" part would have been more acceptable.

Yes i really think its time to put the indoor/outdoor debate to rest, i think everyone knows where we all stand on this issue, coolbabe is maybe reasonably new here and young, so lets not be too hard on her.
I just realized i posted my other thread on the poll she raised, it should have been in here, oh well never mind.

To be honest i have to say one more word on this, i do consider being called IRRESPONSIBLE AND IGNORANT derogotary to my character, even if no-one else does.
It is offensive to me, as if you knew me well you would know i am neither of these things, a most unfair comment to make just because i choose to have indoor/outdoor kitties.
I have never ever made any unkind remarks to people who choose to keep their cats indoors, it is considered cruel in my part of the world as in germany, but I DONOT hold that view at all. Ok i am outta here, ive said my peace, got that hurt off my chest.

[carole]

By the way this comment was not directed at me personally but to all who have indoor/outdoor kitties, but still as i am one of them, that includes me doesnt it?

[CoolBabe22]

All I am saying is that some people are accussing me of being a bad owner,and it wasn't nice to me.carole,i am not talking about you,and i am defindently not calling thoses cats anything.i am talking about their owners,not the cats

[ScantyNebula]

did anyone actually call her a bad owner? I didn't see that ... =/

[CoolBabe22]

you know what i am talking about if you read when they were calling me things.

[Cataholic]

Carole,
I think you ***might*** be reading into things a teeny bit....I don't really see anyone being exactly critical of you, as a person.

Coolbabe, how old are you?

[shais_mom]

I don't remember calling anyone irresponsible or ignorant.
Things are different in NZ, I understand that.
Nor do I EVER remember any posts by coolbabe person.
Why get this started?
*sigh*
Trust me I grew up with outdoor only dogs and my aunt and uncle have outdoor only cats. It is a personal choice, any my personal choice is to have indoor only cat and a dog that is outside supervised.
