The cat at home is always staring out the window, seemingly curious about everything in the outside world. Before you relent and decide to open a window and let him out, consider the consequences of letting your house cat, which has lived its entire life indoors, suddenly venture into the unfamiliar outdoors. Suppose a domestic cat that has never been outside is suddenly brought outside. In that case, it may be frightened by the unfamiliar and noisy new environment and may be at a loss as to what to do, and may even be in fatal danger. But if your cat was brought back from the wild, or is a “free-range cat” that is used to walking outside every day, then you may feel that the cat was born to be allowed to move freely and should not be restricted to the home.
However, both indoor cats and free-range cats have their advantages and disadvantages, and there is no absolute answer to which one is better for cats (it still must depend on the cat’s habits, surrounding environment and other factors). Therefore, in this article, we put forward some key points for reference by owners who plan to let their domestic cats become semi-free-range cats to see whether your cat is free-range and what are the risks of free-range cats.
