Furiends meez a little bit sad tuday as meez lost a foo deaw furiends dis week. Meez wus gunna tell a diffewent stowwy tuday but meez finks meez needs tu tell dis one ‘stead. PURRLEASE meez not makin’ dis posty tu blame or upset anypawdy. And fuw da furmilys of meez furiends dat hav gone tu heaven, meez so vewy sowwy fuw yous loss. And meez is purrayin’ fuw yous and meez luvs yous vewy much. But these deaffs cannot be in vain!! And ifin wees don’t leawn anyfin’ fwum dem den dat’s zackly what hapuned. Deys died fuw nuffin.
A foo days ago a kitty furiend hoo had wecently celebwated hims 1st Meowday died. But it’s not dat simple. See hims wus outside alone as hims had dun many times afuw. And der wus a huge stowm wiff towwential wains. When hims mommy called fuw hims tu come inside hims didn’t answew. Hims didn’t come home at all dat nite. Hims wus well luvved, micwo chipped and had a tag. Hims pawents alewted all da neighbows dat hims had gone missin’. Deys had dun evewfin’ wight tu get hims home ifin hims got lost or kittynapped. Da nex meownin’ aftew da stowm had passed a lady found hims layin’ alone aside a twee. Sumtime duwin’ da nite and da downpouw hims had been hit by a caw. Da lady took hims little bwoken body tu da VET and called hims pawents hoo wus welieved tu know dat hims had been found. Only tu hav dat welieff dashed upon awwivin’ at da VETs and leawnin’ dat hims kuldn’t be saved. He had spent God only knows how long fwightened and huwt dyin’ and alone. And it all kulda been purrvented.
Last nite meez lost anuddew kitty furiend. Hims wus much luvved and had been close tu deaff twice afuw. But wiff hims mommys luv and da help of a wunnewful VET hims had pulled fwu. But…. hims wus allowed outside cuz hims mommy fawt hims wus tu sad and depwessed bein’ “cooped up” inside da house. Hims had been a stway and like meez uddew furriend all da neighbows knew and liked hims. Hims liked tu lay wound in da dwiveway. So last nite like many uddew nites hims wus layin’ in da dwiveway, and hims wus wunned ovew. Hims kuldn’t be saved. Hims mommy is devastated and hims gwammaw is cwushed and feelin’ so guilty, as shes wus da one dwivin’ da caw. And it all kuld hav been purrvented. As yous know wees hav a Facebook page also. And evewday wees wead stowwys ’bout kittys allowed outside unsupewvised. Da stowwy meez told yous tuday, these awen’t da only furiends wees lost tu dis vewy same kind of accident. Wees also lost furiends tu animal attacks. And it all kulda been purrvented.
In dis day and age der’s no weason fuw a kitty tu evew go outside. Hoomans hav domesticated cats tu da point dat dey can liv long, happy and healffy lives wiff out evew goin’ outside. But ifin yous feel da need tu let fluffy out den purrlease put a leash on hers/hims and go yous selff. Install a catio or uddew purrtective enclosuwe. Meez will tell yous dat meez and mommy cwy when wees wead ’bout a fewal dat kwits showin’ up or gets injuwed or killed. But wees unnewstand why deys not bein’ bwought intu da house. Fuw any uddew fuwwy (includin’ dogs) der’s no excuse. Many blame da dwivews, or da wild animal, etc., but ifin fluffy hadn’t been outside alone off leash tu begin wiff deys wulda nevew been at wisk. Meez will say again, kittys no longew need tu go outside and hunt fuw der meals or smell da woses or anyfin’ els. Purrlease paw hewe fuw weasons tu keep fluffy inside. Meez justs want tu wemind yous all again tu keep yous fuwwy furmily membews safe and inside da house or on a leash so dat yous don’t find yous selff in a situaton da Kulda been purrvented.
Til da nex time……Hav a Pawsum Catuwday!!!

As a former rescue who is never allowed outside by herself, I am so grateful that there are those of us who are supervised, leashed, or have beautiful safe places outside (like catios). It is so sad when we don’t. And yes, “kulda been purrvented”!
Mommy’s woofie when she was growing up had his own “run” which was half the yard (not the part that had a garden) and he became the oldest dog in the town. Most of the others who were let run free sooner or later got run over!
Have a sweet SAFE weekend!

Dezi I’m so sad about your friends who met such a sad end needlessly……we sorry about outside kitties so much – there are cats in our neighborhood who live outside and we try to help them by allowing them to use our front porch and deck and yard as a “safe place” and give them food when they want it too. Sometimes they’re just left outside because their owners are too lazy to take care of them – whatever the reason we’re always worrying for them. I go outside on a leash and harness – I’m happy to have parents who know that’s best.
Hugs, Sammy

Six of us, we NEVER go outside nor do we want to. We are all rescues and several of us were picked up as strays by animal control – outside and DECLAWED so no protection. And no, Mom did NOT declaw us before anyone starts. We’re the lucky ones. Please keep your furkids safe.

Oh no! We’re so sorry to hear that you’ve lost some of your dear friends! Our thoughts are with you and their families! We’re indoor cats. And as much as we envy the neighbor cats who are allowed to go outside, we are kind of relieved that nothing like this can happen to us as long as we stay inside.

I’m so sorry for your friends and for all kitties and pups who died on the road.Last year 3 kitties of my neighborhood and the shi-tzu puppy of my neighbor were killed by cars. It’s sad that we all have to stay at home, but as long as some people act like idiots on the road, kitties better stay inside and pups better play in their back yard.

We are allowed outside in the garden or up on the garage roof and the fence but we know we can’t go in the road (it’s a cul de sac and there are only 19 properties). Mum watches us like a hawk!

That is such a good post about cats living inside but we are a purrfect example that cats can live outside. It all depends on where you live. We live in the country a long ways from a road and are surrounded by many many acres around us. We have two barns and under the house where the cats can get in out of bad weather. We also have a very good fence around the yard that keeps bad animals out of here. My cats that stay outside a lot are very happy and very healthy. I agree with you that the cats are safer staying inside. I have six that stay inside all the time and the outside ones come and go.
