In this busy world cat owners are
worried about their cat's safety, especially from traffic. One insurance policy
is to keep your cat inside at night.
There are many advantages to keeping a cat inside at night. The Cat Protection
Society recently found that over a four week study of cats brought into their
clinic, 94% of accidents occurred at night.
Cats which are confined at night are safer from accidents, especially cars, are
less of a nuisance for the neighbours and hunt less.
Some cats, such as those living in apartments, will even need to live inside
all the time. But if you are going to keep your cat inside, it is important to
follow these guidelines.
All cats must have their needs met - fresh water, food, a litter tray, and a
warm, draught free place to sleep.
But in addition, All cats are naturally curious and playful and love to
explore. If these needs are not met, they may become bored, destructive and
develop behavioural problems. Meeting these needs is called providing an
enriched environment.
