Never Chain a Pet near a Garage Door, as even the Rattle of a Key can sometimes cause the Garage Door to Come Down, often Crushing many a Panicked Pet!
Outdoor Cats Live Only 2 Years on Average! An Indoor Cat Lives to an Average of 15 Years!
If you do want to take your Cat outdoors, Please do so as you would do with your Dog. Cats and Kittens can be trained with Patience, to walk on a leash.
This list was taken from a list sent to me by one of the many Animal Welfare groups, called
Cats In Need. it's website is: www.CATSINNEED.COM
I already belong to Alley Cat Allies, (and personally can not take on another of the same catagory) ... I belong to over 12 groups now! But this Organization Deserves To be Respected for its Responsible Literature, and if I could join 'two of the same catagory' I would definitely 'Check this one out!'
Alley Cat Rescue Inc. (also known as The National Cat Protection Society) in Washington D.C. is also another fine organization in need of funds!
