Should Your Cat Be Kept Inside or Outside

Overall, the risks to the cat tend to outweigh the potential benefits of living outside. That’s why the majority of veterinarians advise keeping a cat indoors for their health and safety. Ecological experts also recommend this route to protect the cats and the environment as felines are predators and dangerous to wildlife, especially birds. Outdoor cats will hunt for fun and, as a result, are responsible for imbalanced ecosystems and the modern-day extinction of numerous birds, mammals, and reptiles.
