Cohousing-L Mailing List: RE: Outdoor Cats

[Eileen McCourt (emccourt]

A friend of mine has created a wonderful outside "room" for her cat.  She
has an opening from the garage into a large wire space that sits on her back
deck.  There is an environment for the cat, and her cat seems very content
with this.  I have an outdoor cat, and have been considering this as a
possible solution for my cat when I move into cohousing.  My cat will be 8
or 9 by then, and I guess I am thinking he might be willing to put up with
this since he'll be older.  The outdoor "room" definitely does not provide
opportunities for hunting, which is a cat's job, so I don't know what the
result will be.

Do other communities have any policies about cats being outdoors.  I think I
checked this in the archives and read some discussion of problems, but
didn't see any real solutions.
