Re: Indoor cats or outdoor cats- THAT is the question?


Leia is picky; doesn't like the cat grass. So every day I pick some from outside for her that she eats with enjoyment. Can be a bit difficult in the Winter with snow, however!

could you not just grow normal grass from seed rather than the cat grass? I grow grass for the rabbits over winter, so I am just making up one for the cats too

Yip, you can do that Louise
I think its just that the cat grass is easier to grow, and grows faster and it comes in pre-made up tub for us lazy people lol... A couple of days and cats can eat it. Less effort needed!

Re: Indoor cats or outdoor cats- THAT is the question?


I'm always really tied between 'indoor' and 'outdoor.' I was raised with outdoor cats, so my parents are naturally inclined towards them and find it odd and somewhat 'wrong' that I wish to have indoor cats.

My cat Honey is an outdoor cat but is a lazy ****** and will happily spend all day and night lazing indoors, so when I move out he shall become an indoor-cat only. Might take some adjustment, but he's been fine when being kept indoors for long periods of time in the past.

My new kitten, Lemon, is around two months old and therefore indoors obviously, but he shall remain indoors - with my parent's support. We feel it'd be most fair this way, so that when I move out he shall also be indoors-only rather than being let out beforehand, in case he takes to the outdoors much more than Honey has.
