I don't get it really. Why get dogs if you don't want to take them out? It's like people who get cats and then keep them indoors as "house cats"  . I hear a million and one excuses for that but there just isn't one. Cats love being outdoors. It's what they live for. If you live somewhere that it's not possible for them to be out hunting / exploring, don't get a damned cat. |
My cat is a mainly indoor cat, Gav built an enclosure for him at the side of the house that he can go in and out of from a window, we also leave him out in the garden when we're out there as he can only get out of the garden one way (through the gate) he's far too lazy to attempt jumping the fence.
You're completely wrong when you say people make up excuses because they live somewhere where a cat can't go outside by the way, I live in the country. The breeder I got my cat from specifically requests people she's selling kittens to to keep them as indoor cats
