we have a closed in porch 0.09% 1
my cat walks on a leash 0.09% 1
honestly it depends on the cat. i know of many cats who are perfectly conent to stay inside all their life, and of others that would kill (not literally, but close) to get outside if kept inside for too long. 0.09% 1
two of my three cats constantly try to get back inside when we bring them out on a leash or when they've snuck out they immediately freeze then turn around and run back inside. 0.09% 1
both indoor and out door 0.09% 1
my cat is very happy out on my fenced in terrace 0.09% 1
depends on the cat breed 0.09% 1
i think it would be nice if they could go out, but it's not really a good idea. too many cars and stupid people who don't care 0.09% 1
no 0.09% 1
i let her out sometimes 0.09% 1
