There are indoor cats and outdoor cats. There is nothing wrong with either.

Forcing your cat to stay out to fend for itself for a week-end or week at a time is not fair to the cat though.

To keep a cat inside isn't cruel. It's a choice. My cat doesn't want to go out. He's quite content with staying inside for the rest of his life. He's an indoor cat... plain and simple.

Oh, and no... he hasn't been declawed and his claws aren't even clipped. There's no scratches or anything in my couch, or bed.. or anything. He has a scratching post. He's very intelligent and knows to keep his claws in when he's supposed to.
