Yeah, I know, but he was a steet cat until my wife scooped him up, he was about three then, and it was very hard to take the street cat out of the street cat. The alternative, as you can tell, becomes locking him in a basement, which isn’t a great alternative to me.
I wasn’t trying to be judgey, a lot of people think it’s better for the cat to let them have freedom to roam, but indoor cats have nearly double the lifespan.
No, it’s cool, I didn’t interpret it that way. I get it and I understand it, but I wrestle with having had this cat since 2014 at this point, knowing what he’s like and where he came from, and it definitely conflicts with guidance I’ve read, but he’s healthy and great weight and active when he goes out, and so here we are.
Yeah I feel ya. Ultimately quality of life within acceptable safety parameters should always be the primary motivator, and it certainly sounds like that’s what you’re keeping in mind.
