With their natural stalk-and-hunt nature, it’s easy to feel guilty about keeping your cat safe indoors. However, statistics indicate that the life span of
an indoor cat is much longer then those of an outdoor cat, 12-20 years indoors, whereas an outdoor has life expectancy of less then 7 years. Most dangers are directly related to the health and safety of the cat, for example:
- Traffic – busy roads, highway and suburban streets, one accident can be fatal.
- Poisons – pesticides, home garden products, car and motor products, discarded trash, spoiled foods and poisonous plants.
- Infectious disease- Feline Immunodeficiency Virus (FIV) and Feline Leukemia (FeLV) are transmitted from one infected cat to another.
- Parasites – fleas, ticks, ringworm are all common, and can be passed to humans
- There are many more dangers, including getting lost/stolen, bringing in “presents” in the form of dead animals (who could have rabies or other diseases), and becoming prey to other animals.
