In Reply to: What research says about cats... posted by genungo on October 20, 2014 at 09:16:54:
We have both dogs and cats (3/2) and they now more than ever spend the vast majority outside. We love our pets but ten years here with them (and past pets) made us change our minds about indoor time. They do take a toll on the house, especially carpet. We need new carpet in terms of how it looks but decided not to buy any because it is still quite usable and doesn't stink. They'd just F- up the new carpet too is our thinking.
We have five acres and they can run around fairly freely. Since two are mostly Beagle they hunt and bark non-stop and can piss off some neighbors. Once every year or two I get a call from the animal control officer when they get loose together (they don't really hunt alone)
Even on the coldest winter nights the cats want out to hunt or just be cats. We do have several 0 degrees F nights and they are not bothered by it. We have never had an indoor cat box.
