Why To Let Your Cats Outside
Posted by juliana on November 23rd, 2008 filed in Cats 
It is a hard choice whether or not to let your cats outside. There are many advantages and disadvantages. I hope this article will help you make your choice. I chose to let my cats, Angel and Jasmine outside because they were overweight. Typically, overweight cats have more health problems and a shorter life span. It was an extremely hard choice for me because unfortunate things happened to two of my cats recently, due to being outside. My cat Phoenix was hit by a car, and my cat Max disappeared. These are some risks you must take if you are letting your cats outside.
I am glad, though, that I chose to let my cats, Angel and Jasmine, outside. Because now they are not overweight and they seem happier and less bored. They wait each morning for the moment when I put them outside. Once they are out, they have loads of fun curling up in the sun, attempting to catch bugs, hiding in bushes, exploring their territory, and just having fun!
If you do chose to let your cats outside, I recommend three things. First, bringing them in at night, (there are more predators at night, and it is harder for cars to see if your cat wanders into the road). Second, leaving a bowl of water out for them ( so they don’t get dehydrated, especially in the summer). Finally, they should be up to date on their vaccinations, because they are exposed to different diseases outside. This way it is safer for them.
