It is the safest thing you can do for your pet cat, and the kindest thing you can do for your community's bird community. However, unlike dogs, cats have never been FULLY domesticated, so I do understand why you'd ask. I would of course recommend having items inside the home to keep the cat happy and occupied, be it scratching posts, toys, etc., and also growing "cat grass" or catnip can be a fun treat. I also have seen lots of people that get harnesses for their cats and take them for walks. I am sure this is something that requires some time and patience, but the cats I have observed being walked REALLY seemed to enjoy it. If you do consider that, know that the cat will probably really like it and want to go out frequently, though.

How do you keep outdoor cats from running away?
When you first have them, or move to another house, keep them indoors for about a month, to tie them to the territory. If you are in an area without much traffic, then they may do okay outside. If you are in a rural area, then you risk having them become a "naive food source" for wildlife, including coyotes, owls and so on. Cats who are outside all of the time do have shorter lives due to various mishaps, rather than running away. I did have one cat for about 7 years who was out when I was home during the day, but indoors at night. If I was out to work, the cat was indoors.

Can tabby cats live indoors?
Yes. Each year many people choose to keep their pets all-indoors. it keeps the pet safe from outdoor harm. Like any other cat, a tabby (which is not technically a breed, so much as a marking-- did you know?) could adjust to this lifestyle. However, it requires more exercise and playtime, as the cat does not romp around and exercise outside. It you do not, you will get a chubby kitty and shorter time with your cat. No matter what, you should spay or neuter your cat. But when keeping your cat indoors, it is not quite as important. Your male cat may spray, and females can be a problem, too. But at least you won't come home one day to find your outside she-cat pregnant. Many people have inside pets, and it is good for the wildlife, for your cat, and for you.

Nope. My kitty spent her whole life as an indoor cat. She didnt even try to go outside. -- It's not mean or cruel in anyway. Cats live long, happy and healthy lives inside. They don't get into fights, contract contagious diseases from other cats, don't kill song birds and other small creatures.

He had an extremely good life.
