Hi Jeannette - cats ravage the native birds and kill small marsupials like possums. Cats and foxes have virtually wiped out a lot of the smaller native animals in most of Australia.

Being northern of course, my cats are double hard!!

However, we do have a cat flap, so they can do as they want......

I don't worry about this one Catherine. He's a bit of a roughy-toughy and spends most of the night sat on our neighbours shed surveying his territory! lol

Here in Oz cats cause a lot of environmental damage. It is recomended to keep them inside. Lots of people keep them in sort of comfortable cages on the sides of their houses accessed via a cat flap, so they can come an go as they please.

Mine has a cat flap so comes and goes as he pleases. I used to keep it locked at night but don't bother now, he's so lazy most of the time he sleeps all night on the end of my bed anyway!

Morning Catherine!

I think they should be allowed to do as they please! ;-)))))))

My last 2 moggies were females and liked to be in on a night, although they did stay out sometimes in Summer. My current puss is a neutered tom and likes to be out most nights, although he will stay in on cold Winter nights

do you think your cat should stay in or out at night.my cat is never allowed out at night,mainly cos i don't want her hurt-. lastnight i was woken up about 1am to an awful cat fight near my window it must have gone on for 40 min-i was thinking poor cats, what if one gets hurt. i know it prob depends where you live,there are loads of cats near us.

what do you think then in or out.

thanks
