You say if you keep your dog outdoors, it can pee on the carpet, but if you keep in indoors, it can't..? Side: Outdoors (Even occasionally)

I am not arguing that cats should be kept indoors, or outdoors. For that really depends on your circumstances, like your environment, personality and preference of the cats and other circumstances. However, for me, ever since the first cat I ever had was poisoned and died from it and the second cat I almost had (I was still a kid and my parents were indecisive since it was a stray kitten) was abused, beaten and bloodied by some punk teens who had a thing for hurting animals, I will never have outdoor cats again. By the way, the stray kitten that was abused, I had insisted on taking care of it that day until my parents could come home and we could bring it to a shelter, where from what I understood was able to make a full recovery and got adopted soon after. And that is something that I have not left behind in childhood, even as an adult I will save most animal creatures if I can. Side: Indoors

For the general well-being of the cat, assuming not in a city, outdoors is generally preferable. However, domestic cats can be damaging to other local species; birds, bats, small mammals. If you live in an area with endangered or threatened species that a cat is likely to hunt, it would probably be best to keep the cat in out of respect for those. Side: Outdoors (Even occasionally)

Cats should be kept outside as I'm pregnant now and I don't want it to scratch my belly due to which my child have some problem. http://www.fertilemind.com.au/ Side: Outdoors (Even occasionally)
