I'm SOOO angry right now. What part of INDOOR ONLY do they not understand????

Once you have calmed down, and no doubt I would be beyond furious, I would write a letter to them, explaining your thoughts and feelings, and why you know indoor is better, that this sort of thing keeps you up at night, that you could never forgive yourself, and you will work to find him a new home, etc.

I wouldn't rely on any written contract. That just sets the two of you at odds, I would work to appeal to this person's emotional side, not the legal side.

Thank GOD this kitty is ok, relatively speaking.

We are so glad that Otto will survive his ordeal
Sometimes even when we mean to keep our Cats indoor, they slip out.
Josephine is a little Houidini and I am old , thank God I have the Moose Memorial Porch so she cannot get outside.
We are praying that Otto will recover fully

Yup, this would be reason # 28,535 that my cats are indoor only. I don't even want to take Jax out on a harness and leash because I don't want him to become a door darter.
My opinion is they are happy as long as they are ALIVE! Growing up with outdoor only cats I couldn't handle losing another kitty to being run over by a car. I'm actually surprised we didn't lose more to coyotes. Although those might be the ones that "ran away" never to return.

I hope they really do keep Otto indoors now. I'm afraid once he heals up (and begs them) they might go back to their old ways.
