Wild cats are pretty self-reliant creatures and fearsome hunters. Domesticated cats are too...or at least they think they are.
Charlie is no exception, he still remembers his heydays of 10 years ago when he was a feral yet mellow fellow. Charlie is now an indoor cat and that's the only way we feel comfortable keeping a cat here. Lots of people take the risk of leaving their cats outdoors or making them indoor-outdoor cats and that's up to them. I hope for the best for those cats. For us, there are just too many dangers in the outside world once a cat is domesticated. They are no match for vehicles, snakes, coyote, loose dogs, fleas, ticks or mischief making humans.
Charlie loves his life, or at least that's what he tells us. He's safe and well fed. He plays with his dog buddies and involves his humans in deep conversations. In fact, his favorite thing is to hang with his humans. When one of us comes home, Charlie is always waiting at the window to welcome us back...even if we've only been gone for seconds.
