My cat in the past never saw the streets, so he took every chance to escape. He was so energetic/playful/hyperactive inside.
This new cat, she is young but rescued from street, she is little bit more easygoing and doesnt attack yuu when you pet her.
They both stayed alone in a 7m² balcony and we let them roam in my room when we are not at work.
I think they shouldnt be staying inside a house at all, they need to run and climb trees. The 1st cat I mentioned now live with my relatives who have a private garden, I am guessing he is much more happy now. Because he was not an indoor cat.
We rescued this cat for temporarily, until her scar is healed and we are planning to release where she was found. Do you think a room that small inhumane for a cat or street is worse.
Do you want your cat to be hit by a car or attacked by a dog? Do you want some neighborhood sickos torture your cat and then have it die alone and confused without you? If so then sure let them out. You may never know what happens to them when they don’t come back.
In what kind of shithole place do you live?
Unfortunately you don’t have to live in a “shit hole” place for these things to happen.
