When it comes to keeping your cat or cats indoors, many people have mixed feelings; should they stay indoors
or be let to roam outside? "Cats can't be happy without outdoor time." "My cat (s) will be fine outdoors." These are just
some of the statements I've heard from various people who do genuinely love their cat or cats but just aren't aware of some
of the risks they are taking by allowing their cat(s) outdoors to roam free.
In light of such attitudes I've compiled some facts here that should be of interest to all cat fanciers,
especially those who allow their cat(s) outdoors. These should also give you good reason to have your cat(s) spayed
or neutered.
- The average cat has 1-8 kittens per litter and can have 2-3
litters each year.
- During her reproductive lifetime, a cat can have up to or more than 100 kittens.
- 420,000 kittens can be produced in just 7 years from just a single pair of cats and their kittens.
- The average age of an indoor cat is 15 years whereas, the average age of an outdoor
cat is only 3-5 years.
