[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Depends entirely on the cat. Some cats and some breeds are smart and savvy.

We had an indoor/outdoor cat growing up (suburbs), who lived to be 18. They were indoor/outdoor (any time they wanted to be let out, any time of year) since they were a kitten.

Occasionally they came home with a scratch from some animal fight, but nothing serious.

They always buried their poop well, occasionally brought us a chipmunk, and helped shoe away the annoyingly chirping birds, so we could sleep with the windows open sometimes.

[b]As far as sometimes catching birds go, eh, that's the cycle of life. [/b]Birds aren't exactly vegetarian.

Outdoor life is not for every cat. But I'm convinced it makes for a happier, as well as longer (due to aforementioned happiness) life for some cats. [/quote]

Actually, cats are non-native predators for which reason it is not the "cycle of life."  We have a major problem with native bird populations being killed off by non-native cat-predators.

Your comment reflects your ignorance.
