I’ve just posted about me living indoors and look what I’ve found. Franny Syufy from Cats Blog at About.com comments a letter to the Easton Journal from Jamie Segel, Project Coordinator of MSPCA Metro South Animal Care and Adoption Center.
From the letter:
“Indoor cats are protected from cars, predators, disease and other cats. It keeps them from getting lost, ingesting poisons, or becoming victims of animal abuse. It also, on average, doubles their life span.”
I live indoors and my servant doesn’t allow me to sit on the window, I guess he’s scared of me going down 15 floors to the ground. Does that count as keep me alive? I wouldn’t fall, I like to look at the city. I’m just curious. Meoow.
