Why I Keep My Cat Indoors (And You Should Too)

Honestly, seeing posts about outdoor cats getting hurt or going missing makes my heart race. I get it—cats are curious, but letting them roam is basically sending them into a wildlife Hunger Games. They’re not just risking their own lives (cars, dogs, disease, you name it), but they’re also a walking threat to local birds and mammals. Stats say cats kill billions of animals a year—yikes. And let’s be real: most people aren’t ready to drop $$$ at the vet when their cat comes home with a mystery wound. You never know what happens out there. Plus, outdoor cats live shorter lives. That’s just facts. If your cat is desperate to go out, try a harness or build a catio. Enrichment doesn’t have to mean danger. And please, don’t let unneutered cats outside unless you want to star in a kitten reality show. It’s not about judging—it’s about keeping our fur babies (and wildlife) safe. Let’s do better for them. #CatCare #IndoorCats #PetSafety #Pets #Cats
