I wonder how many people do break that contract? I know that I do by letting my 3 shelter adopted cats out into the garden - but I'm there, they absolutely love it, and I'd feel that I was depriving them if I obeyed the stipulations of the contract. I don't live in a remote farmhouse, but I do live in a very quiet neighborhood, and have a large garden with wild area at the bottom of it. I'd only feel guilty if I put them outside because I couldn't be bothered to have litter boxes or something like that. Years ago, I checked out a foster home for a cat with one eye that had been found abandoned and starving, and my house was full. They were very pleased to show me the back garden where he would be expected to do his litter box functions, a garden that had a broken down fence and was alongside a busy road. I couldn't believe they'd do that to a cat with poor vision.
