Simple and easy recipes with everyday ingredients.

This is for Ann in Florida whose letter was in the 5/7 newsletter.  I was sorry you had to learn such a hard lesson when you let your cat Patches out and he was killed the very first time he went out.  As an animal lover, I know how much that must have hurt and how you blamed yourself.  To anyone else who is thinking about letting their cats out, may I just tell of my own experience with indoor and outdoor cats.  

I am 63 and got my first cat when I was 7 years old.  In the past 55 years I have only had 8 cats (sometimes 2 or 3 at a time).  My oldest cat lived to be 19 1/2.  None of my cats were ever allowed out on their own.  They had occasional porch or patio time, but always supervised.  They always seemed to be fearful of the outdoors and came in readily with just one clap of my hands.

I have a friend that I have known for 9 years.  In 9 years she has had 17 cats.  All of her cats have been allowed to go out.  Her two children are now 19 and 16 and are no longer crying every time a cat is missing.  She found more than one cat hit by a car near her home. Once she found one that had been hit and had managed to make it to her front porch.  It didn't make it to the vet's office and died in her daughter's arms.  Usually her cats just never come back and she never knows what has happened to them.  No matter how much I talk to her, she will not keep her cats inside.

So, decide for yourself if you'd rather have a few cats or many cats.
Diane
