More scientific evidence has surfaced to show that while mittens may be your sweet angel, letting her roam outside is also a big threat to biodiversity.

    Mental health for felines does not necessitate killing other animals. Mine gets sufficient stimulation by just observing and being played with.

      Cool story.

      Until the end of last year, mine was indoor-only, and had multiple health problems requiring ongoing expenses and treatment, then a change in my living situation necessitated him being outdoors for part of the time. Ever since then, he has gone into almost complete remission, supplies that would last for weeks now last for months, and his vets agree that the only thing that has changed is he is now getting something from the outdoor experience that medicine couldn’t provide. IE, mental health.

      He was played with and given attention constantly, and it didn’t matter, we thought he had only a few months left. Now he could have years left.

      So he will continue to be outdoors, despite opinions from random people on the internet.
