I lived in an Apt 3rd floor with an outside balcony with my first two cats (Siamese, Sam and Rascal - shouts to BF who I was reading has siamese right now) till they were 8 and 11. I think any shelter is great as it is one cat who is not euthanized somewhere and gets a home.

But some places are better than others. Where I am is made for cats. Basicly I am 200 feet from pure MN wilderness.

Anyhow when they got out here with me in 1987, across the street was a field, they used to run no probs to the woods. No cat is going to look at that woods their whole life without going over there. Noone cared less then. Way less population.

So the point is, reading how Jim has to keep his cats inside in FLA for good reason. Another in Cali has to keep theirs in from coyotes. Thousand situations.

But the odds are so in favor of the cat (any cat) here that I would feel terrible as Otto said, to in my situation keep the little guy in forever. I would be a cruel person. I was brought up in rural MN. Back then noone cared less. Cats run all over.

So I am going to realize that most people agree with me and/or do not care if a cat goes under their car or through their yard.

98% of people would have said, "oh isnt that a cute lil kitty (cause he really is ) but she goes 180.

So sad. And she is an RN. Where is the compassion. The generosity. The flexibility. I listen to your barking and my cat cuts through your yard.. Tradeoff most thinking people can agree on.

But it is her father. She is brainwashed and doesnt even realize tho she has a high iq.

We can not escape our parents esp mother-son and father-daughter.
