What does an outdoor cat eat?

Answer 1

I have an outdoor cat, and he is vey happy. Outdoors is a very good choice for any new pet. Good way to avoid cleaning litter boxes. Cats bury their waste, so if you let them out, you will never see any. To train them, let them out for short periods of time, while following them abot 10 feet behind them. Eventually, they will learn to come back to your house on their own. Try not to let them out at night, unless you live in the city, because there are a lot of coyotes at night.... Good luck!

Answer 2

Cats eat meat or cat food like any other cat. The cat food could be dry or wet. I have alot of outdoor cats and we live out at the ranch. ours eat snakes and rats and we DO feed them regular cat food there the same as a house cat.

Answer 3

You're lucky if it lives to see its second birthday, what with weather conditions, the fact that there is no food outdoors, predators, being hit by cars, and other things. Very smart idea to keep your cat inside at all times where it can live an average of 12 years old. my cat just died at 16 and he was strictly indoors.

EDIT:

This previous answer was obviously meant to straight up, scare you from letting your cat outdoors. I too, agree that it's best to keep your cat indoors. Especially if you live in the city. Or even the suburbs. But the fact that your cat "Will be lucky to see its second birthday" is bull. Average of outdoor cats is about 8 years. Which, is 4-7 years off of the average indoor cat.

So to answer your question, 6-8 years is the average. But you must take into consideration that cars/weather etc play a major part in that.

Answer 4

Keeping it inside. The average lifespan of an outdoor cat is 3-5 years. The average lifespan of an indoor cat is 15-18 years. Outdoor cats face a number of deadly problems ranging from cars, cruel humans, natural predators, disease, and injury.

Answer 5

This depends what country you live in. In the UK it is legal to let your cat roam outside, but in some states in the US its illegal for your cat to roam outside of your property. Sadly I couldn't find a list of those states, so it might be advisable to contact your local authorities to find out if you wish to let your cat out.

Answer 6

An outdoor cat may hunt and eat small animals such as birds, mice, insects, and small reptiles. They may also scavenge for food in outdoor environments or be fed by humans who leave out food for them. It's important for outdoor cats to have a balanced diet to ensure they are getting proper nutrition.

Answer 7

Yes most cats do but some people choose to have indoor cats.
