Cats are notoriously behavioral. They can either be indoors or outdoors, and they’re very rarely both. Perhaps being one of the most opinionated pets to ever be reared, they have a preference for basically everything, and as a cat owner can tell you, they’re not afraid of voicing it either. That being said, what happens when you take highly opinionated indoor cats outside? I’ll tell you what happens; mayhem. Absolute mayhem.<\/p>\n

Users at Sad And Useless<\/a> posted pictures of cats freaking out about the sunlight and the grass, as well as some who were awestruck at the marvel that was apparently being kept from them. If you thought that cats weren’t as expressive as dogs, or that cats needed some encouragement to express themselves, after seeing these pictures, you’ll come to the same conclusion as I have. Cats always had the ability to express themselves, they just chose not to.<\/p>\n

There’s an entire Webmd dedicated to your pets, and specifically indoor vs outdoor cats!<\/p>\n

The consensus among veterinarians and organizations such as the American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA) is that it\u2019s wiserto keep cats indoors. \u201cConsidering the potential dangers outdoors, an indoor lifestyle is much safer for cats,\u201d Brunt says. \u201cIndoor cats have a much lower likelihood of becoming hurt or ill from outdoor hazards.\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

As evidence, indoor cats live longer than their outdoor counterparts. Cats who are kept indoors can reach the ripe old age of 17 or more years, whereas outdoor cats live an average of just two to five years. Another reason for indoor cats\u2019 longevity is that it\u2019s easier for their owners to identify health problems early, before they become life threatening.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Gina Gentilozzi never thought twice about keeping her three cats indoors, particularly because she has some unpleasant memories about her own childhood pets. \u201cWhen I was little, I had indoor-outdoor cats and they all had fleas,\u201d she recalls. \u201cAnd outdoor cats bring you home dead things and I don\u2019t like that either.\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

McWhorter is well aware that Hobbes and his sister, Calvin, lead a riskier life than her two indoor cats, Lucy and Ricky, but she inherited them from her home\u2019s previous owner and was afraid it would be hard for them to make the transition from outdoor to indoor cats. \u201cI really didn\u2019t want four cats in the house, and they [Calvin and Hobbes] were accustomed to being outside,\u201d she says.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
