Comment on Adopting a stray cat
iAmTheTot@sh.itjust.works 2 months agoIt should seem somewhat obvious after thinking about it for a moment. Outdoor access means more exposure to diseases and parasites, exposure to predators, and exposure to traffic.
Here’s just one study. royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/…/rsbl.2018.0840
I encourage you to ask any vet or your local humane society.

Appreciate not getting a snarky comeback. My personal experience has been outdoor/indoor cats lead long, satisfying lives. But my experience could be an outlier which is why I asked for your source.
Will definitely give this a read once I’m done work. Again, much appreciated
