DESCRIPTION:Should I Let My Cat Outdoors? 				\n				\n				\n				\n								
 	This can be a hot button topic.  On one side\, having access to the outd
 oors can be an enriching activity for some cats.  On the other side\, man
 y shelters have seen that giving a new\, untrained cat access to the outdo
 ors often leads to them going missing and never being found or coming back
  in really rough shape.  For shelters who just put months of money and ef
 fort into getting a cat ready to be adopted (spay/neuter\, microchip\, vac
 cines\, flea treatment\, dewormer\, pathogen testing\, treatment for injur
 ies\, etc) it is heart breaking and frustrating to see one of their cats i
 mmediately put into the same danger they were just rescued from.   We’
 re not here to tell you what the right answer is\, but if you’re watchin
 g a social media influencer take their adventure cat through the mountains
 \, you should know that is NOT how the vast majority of cats will react on
  a harness in the outdoors.  More often than not\, people do not realize 
 all of the effort that goes into first deciding if a cat has the right per
 sonality for walking on a harness\, and then the extensive training that m
 ust be done indoors\, before ever attempting to take a cat outdoors. Here 
 are several points to consider:  								\n				\n				\n				\n					Do you 
 understand all of the risks associated with taking a cat outdoors and the 
 added vet expenses? 				\n				\n				\n				\n									Especially if the cat
  escapes\, there is a chance they might never be found again.  If they ar
 e found\, they may be injured by a stray cat\, dog\, racoon\, other wild a
 nimal\, car\, etc.  They may get fleas\, ticks\, coccidia\, giardia\, cam
 py\, a variety of worms.  Literally EVERY SINGLE cat the rescues take in 
 who have been living outdoors for any amount of time have one or several o
 f these things.  An owner of a cat going outdoors regularly\, even if the
 y don’t escape\, will need to stay on top of flea\, tick and worm preven
 tative as well as more frequent fecal tests and treatment when something i
 s contracted.  All of this will be more expensive than with a cat who is 
 indoors only.   								\n				\n				\n				\n					Is the cat interested i
 n going outdoors?				\n				\n				\n				\n									Most cats can live indoo
 rs only and be completely happy.  Owners should get to know their cat for
  SEVERAL MONTHS first to learn if the cat is interested and has the right 
 temperament to potentially be harness trained.  In many instances\, it’
 s the owner that wants to bring the cat outdoors more than the cat wants t
 o go outdoors.  								\n				\n				\n				\n																													
 	\n				\n				\n				\n							\n			\n		\n						\n				\n				\n				\n					Is t
 he cat able to walk calmly on a harness while indoors? 				\n				\n				\n	
 			\n									Often owners skip this step. All of the training should be d
 one 100% indoors first until the cat is completely comfortable wearing the
  harness and walking calmly next to the owner in it.  This can take many 
 weeks to many months to train.  								\n				\n				\n				\n					Has the 
 cat been trained to have a reliable recall? 				\n				\n				\n				\n						
 			This is more training that needs to be done 100% indoors before a cat i
 s ever brought outside.  Getting a cat to come when called is very diffic
 ult\, and they need to do it reliably\, even with ample distractions prese
 nt.  								\n				\n				\n				\n																														\n				\n		
 		\n				\n							\n			\n		\n						\n				\n				\n				\n					Do you realize 
 ANY cat can get out of ANY harness no matter how well trained? 				\n				\
 n				\n				\n									A cat-proof harness quite literally DOES NOT EXIST.
   Properly fit harnesses make it more difficult for a cat to escape\, but
  cats are liquid and if they are spooked\, they can and will get out of a 
 harness in seconds. This is why it is so important they are trained both t
 o walk comfortably in a harness and trained to have a reliable recall befo
 re ever going outdoors.  								\n				\n				\n				\n							\n			\n		\n		
 				\n				\n				\n				\n					Are you bringing a cat backpack with you ever
 y single time the cat goes outdoors? 				\n				\n				\n				\n									Eve
 n with perfect training\, owners cannot control other people’s dogs\, wi
 ld animals\, enticing birds\, etc.  Should the cat come across anything s
 cary or too distracting during a walk\, the owner should have a backpack a
 vailable so the cat can be scooped up and placed in the backpack for safet
 y until the distraction has passed.   								\n				\n				\n				\n						
 	\n			\n		\n						\n				\n				\n				\n					Are you prepared to deal with a
  cat wanting to go outside daily\, often multiple times a day? 				\n				\
 n				\n				\n									Once a cat is properly harness trained\, they often 
 will become more aggressive about trying to get outside\, so they will nee
 d to be taken out daily\, sometimes multiple times a day\, much like a dog
  would.  The owner will need to be prepared to have to take the cat out w
 hen it’s raining\, snowing\, etc.  								\n				\n				\n				\n							\
 n			\n		\n						\n				\n				\n				\n					Make the best decision for YOUR C
 AT				\n				\n				\n				\n									We all want what’s best for our furry
  family members\, but sometimes assuming your cat is the same as every adv
 enture cat you see online can put them in harms way.  Take your time.  G
 et to know your new cat.  Don’t rush the process and don’t force them
  to be something they’re not.  Love them for whatever kooky personality
  they have\, even if that means they’re a homebody. We all love a homebo
 dy. ❤️

DESCRIPTION:Should I Let My Cat Outdoors? 				\n				\n				\n				\n								
 	This can be a hot button topic.  On one side\, having access to the outd
 oors can be an enriching activity for some cats.  On the other side\, man
 y shelters have seen that giving a new\, untrained cat access to the outdo
 ors often leads to them going missing and never being found or coming back
  in really rough shape.  For shelters who just put months of money and ef
 fort into getting a cat ready to be adopted (spay/neuter\, microchip\, vac
 cines\, flea treatment\, dewormer\, pathogen testing\, treatment for injur
 ies\, etc) it is heart breaking and frustrating to see one of their cats i
 mmediately put into the same danger they were just rescued from.   We’
 re not here to tell you what the right answer is\, but if you’re watchin
 g a social media influencer take their adventure cat through the mountains
 \, you should know that is NOT how the vast majority of cats will react on
  a harness in the outdoors.  More often than not\, people do not realize 
 all of the effort that goes into first deciding if a cat has the right per
 sonality for walking on a harness\, and then the extensive training that m
 ust be done indoors\, before ever attempting to take a cat outdoors. Here 
 are several points to consider:  								\n				\n				\n				\n					Do you 
 understand all of the risks associated with taking a cat outdoors and the 
 added vet expenses? 				\n				\n				\n				\n									Especially if the cat
  escapes\, there is a chance they might never be found again.  If they ar
 e found\, they may be injured by a stray cat\, dog\, racoon\, other wild a
 nimal\, car\, etc.  They may get fleas\, ticks\, coccidia\, giardia\, cam
 py\, a variety of worms.  Literally EVERY SINGLE cat the rescues take in 
 who have been living outdoors for any amount of time have one or several o
 f these things.  An owner of a cat going outdoors regularly\, even if the
 y don’t escape\, will need to stay on top of flea\, tick and worm preven
 tative as well as more frequent fecal tests and treatment when something i
 s contracted.  All of this will be more expensive than with a cat who is 
 indoors only.   								\n				\n				\n				\n					Is the cat interested i
 n going outdoors?				\n				\n				\n				\n									Most cats can live indoo
 rs only and be completely happy.  Owners should get to know their cat for
  SEVERAL MONTHS first to learn if the cat is interested and has the right 
 temperament to potentially be harness trained.  In many instances\, it’
 s the owner that wants to bring the cat outdoors more than the cat wants t
 o go outdoors.  								\n				\n				\n				\n																													
 	\n				\n				\n				\n							\n			\n		\n						\n				\n				\n				\n					Is t
 he cat able to walk calmly on a harness while indoors? 				\n				\n				\n	
 			\n									Often owners skip this step. All of the training should be d
 one 100% indoors first until the cat is completely comfortable wearing the
  harness and walking calmly next to the owner in it.  This can take many 
 weeks to many months to train.  								\n				\n				\n				\n					Has the 
 cat been trained to have a reliable recall? 				\n				\n				\n				\n						
 			This is more training that needs to be done 100% indoors before a cat i
 s ever brought outside.  Getting a cat to come when called is very diffic
 ult\, and they need to do it reliably\, even with ample distractions prese
 nt.  								\n				\n				\n				\n																														\n				\n		
 		\n				\n							\n			\n		\n						\n				\n				\n				\n					Do you realize 
 ANY cat can get out of ANY harness no matter how well trained? 				\n				\
 n				\n				\n									A cat-proof harness quite literally DOES NOT EXIST.
   Properly fit harnesses make it more difficult for a cat to escape\, but
  cats are liquid and if they are spooked\, they can and will get out of a 
 harness in seconds. This is why it is so important they are trained both t
 o walk comfortably in a harness and trained to have a reliable recall befo
 re ever going outdoors.  								\n				\n				\n				\n							\n			\n		\n		
 				\n				\n				\n				\n					Are you bringing a cat backpack with you ever
 y single time the cat goes outdoors? 				\n				\n				\n				\n									Eve
 n with perfect training\, owners cannot control other people’s dogs\, wi
 ld animals\, enticing birds\, etc.  Should the cat come across anything s
 cary or too distracting during a walk\, the owner should have a backpack a
 vailable so the cat can be scooped up and placed in the backpack for safet
 y until the distraction has passed.   								\n				\n				\n				\n						
 	\n			\n		\n						\n				\n				\n				\n					Are you prepared to deal with a
  cat wanting to go outside daily\, often multiple times a day? 				\n				\
 n				\n				\n									Once a cat is properly harness trained\, they often 
 will become more aggressive about trying to get outside\, so they will nee
 d to be taken out daily\, sometimes multiple times a day\, much like a dog
  would.  The owner will need to be prepared to have to take the cat out w
 hen it’s raining\, snowing\, etc.  								\n				\n				\n				\n							\
 n			\n		\n						\n				\n				\n				\n					Make the best decision for YOUR C
 AT				\n				\n				\n				\n									We all want what’s best for our furry
  family members\, but sometimes assuming your cat is the same as every adv
 enture cat you see online can put them in harms way.  Take your time.  G
 et to know your new cat.  Don’t rush the process and don’t force them
  to be something they’re not.  Love them for whatever kooky personality
  they have\, even if that means they’re a homebody. We all love a homebo
