    Miss our cat. Gave us 18 years of being a twat but loved her anyway. She was spayed and we had a cat flap. Keeping a cat indoors is so unnatural. It is basically imprisoning them and removing their independence which is their very nature.

    Beaner my kitty is 18 just got diagnosed with lymphoma. Vet gave me a script for pills which is supposed to slow down the cancer. She isn’t suffering. 18 years is a longtime to have a little buddy but I need to make sure I don’t keep her up too long for my own reasons

    I think it depends on where you live, Beanz. I hit a cat while driving my car one day. It literally freaked and jumped into it and bounced right off. That haunted me and I pray it was okay. Due to the nature of the road I could not stop but did a circle and nothing was there. It could have been badly hurt. I have seen dozens of roadkill sightings, cats and dogs mostly, but also baby deer. I am not religious but I say a few words expressing my remorse that they have had to die like that.

    An oudoor cat is more likely to die young as compared to a fully domesticated cat and it is true that they like to kill. It is their nature and I don't blame them for that though. Certainly out here with apartments it is not practical to let a cat out. Instead I make play time and just try to keep her active with new toys. You have to take them away though as at 2am you get the mewling outside your door with some green worm like green fluff sitting there and her big round eyes looking up at you.

    No, I wouldn't want her prowling around here. The area is full of cars and I couldn't bear the thought of something happening to her. I get paranoid even leaving windows open despite them having metal mosquito/bug netting. I read a story about John Lennons cat leaping from the New York apartment window to its death. Heartbreaking.

    That's a horrible thing to have to hear, Walrus. 18 is a good innings, but still. Sorry to hear that.

    I honestly feel closer to my cat than most people. My wife thinks we are too close. The cat likes my soft lullaby English voice, but will 'kakakaka' at her when she does her noisy Korean voice thing. Koreans sound like they are angry. In England we say pleasantries and it is nice, Koreans do the same but sound like they are going to deck one another. My cat is English.

    Yea sorry to hear about your cat Walrus, can be hard but sometimes if they start to suffer it's better off.

    We have 2 kittens (boy and girl), both are off to the vet this week to get fixed. Pets can be so much fun, they can also drive you crazy.

    They can be great for kids as well.
    They live, We sleep

    Yes I can see in an apartment block is different to here out in the suburbs on the edge of the city, loads of woods etc for them to roam and explore. Still seems a bit like caged birds. Caged birds that people put in front of windows is just taking the piss. "Oooh look you can't go there into the great wide open"

    I wouldn't let a cat out in South Korea either lest she become bulgogi

    I tried to do the harness thing, but she was having none of it. Seems to have taken after me a little too much. Runs for cover whenever a delivery comes to the door and I do much the same.
