Cats have been our human companions for many years — more than 6,000. Cats may disagree, but they can be happily kept inside all the time, and an indoor cat is much healthier and safer than an unprotected outdoor cat. But cats must at least be able to see what’s going on outside.

Most cats will want to go out side no matter what, but cats are not a natural part of our ecosystem. The domestic cat is a descendant of the wild cat of Africa and southwestern Asia. Cats were introduced to North America by the Europeans who brought in large numbers in the nineteenth century in an attempt to control the rodent population. Cats who are allowed to roam freely outside are at risk for getting injured or killed by a car, and cats left roaming in rural areas have a fairly high incidence of FIV.

Bottom line is that outdoor cats have become a problem in the United States. They pose a threat to birds and other small animals, including endangered birds. They kill over 4 million birds in the United States each year, and they compete with some native predators. Many people assume that a cat can provide a benefit by killing certain animals such as mice, but these native mammals are important to maintaining a biological diverse ecosystem.

Also cats can multiply like rabbits. A female cat can have up to three litters of four to six kittens per litter per year. That’s up to 18 kittens every year for a single un-spayed cat. Cats want to play and do what cats are meant to do, but they need to be controlled. Cats make wonderful companions, but owners must prevent their cat from being a nuisance to their neighbors.
