Pets: Should Cats Roam Free?

Society | May 13, 2004, Thursday // 00:00

With a young kitten it is very easy to keep it in and provide it with a litter tray. It then grows up to be used to that sort of life and is perfectly contented. A cat does not exercise in the way that a dog does. That is to say, it does not go for a walk.

A cat will have its mad moment, wherever it is. It will rush around for a few minutes and then go to sleep. It appreciates a scratch post and will use one if it is provided. It also appreciates a warm bed beside a radiator. It does not need the entire neighbourhood for that amount of activity. Cats are actually rather lazy animals; they sleep for most of the day, and their instinct to hunt manifests itself at night, which is precisely the time when they should not be out.

There are some very nice things that one can build in one's garden to allow a cat to get fresh air without being totally free. Some simply fence their garden in and rig up an inwardly angled length of netting to stop the cats getting over.
