Industrial civilization pre-dated me and my cat being from a shelter would have come into being without me. We all do what we can with what control we can. My cat is too stupid to protect himself because he doesn't understand the risk of cars and not speaking english it's difficult to teach him. Instead I choose to explore the outdoors with him instead of letting him roam and almost certainly get lost or killed because I'm not a moron and I don't let my cat wander around a city.
Cats can live 20 years but most wont make it more than 3 outside because their instincts are ill suited for the circumstances.
How do you explore the outdoors with him? You take him hiking?
I take him around our neighborhood and to the park. He especially loves the park at night because he can hunt the little bugs or try to find and track the other animals. He's found out where some rats live and some racoons. I don't let him actually tangle with either for obvious reasons.
Sorry to keep bugging you but I'm looking for solutions for my entitled cat. Currently trying a rope ladder on my window. She doesn't like leashes. Do you use a leash?
