All cat owners can be divided into two categories: supporters of freedom and opponents of free-roaming.
The latter cite as arguments the heavy traffic on the streets, people who are hostile to cats, and rodent poison that can be found, for example, near garbage bins.
In addition, your pet may be injured by an animal that is larger than him, or even by other aggressive cats.
For these reasons, a domestic cat that has an owner should not go for a walk alone.
However, leaving your pet within four walls without any entertainment is not an option.
Instead, as a responsible and caring owner, you should take care to create a stimulating environment right in your home.
For this purpose, various toys will come in handy, as well as shelves where your pet can climb to observe what is happening from above.
There is no need to forbid your cat to go out onto the loggia or balcony: of course, provided that there is no risk that the animal will jump out of the window. You can also train your cat to walk on a harness or let it out for a walk in a well-guarded garden if you live in a private house.
