Nowadays, many people keep cats and take good care of their cats, even as children. But some people also believe that if they keep cats in captivity and lock them indoors for the rest of their lives, they will lose their freedom, like being in prison for the rest of their lives. So what does it mean for cats to be locked in "indoor captive" all their lives?
01
Have a master who loves it
First, there is at least one owner who is willing to take care of it and care about it. Cats can enjoy human care at home without having to wander around and be alone or helpless. It is really a very, very happy thing for a cat to have a owner who loves it.
02
Don't go hungry or freeze
Cats living indoors do not have to worry about food and keep warm. The owner will provide them with plenty of food and clean drinking water, and will also provide them with a warm environment during the cold winter. This is really important for cats! (Afraid of the cold and hungry quickly...)
03
Own your own territory
Although cats have limited scope of movement, they can still find their own world at home. You can rest in the cat's nest, exercise on the cat's crawler, and hide cats under the bed. All these make the cat feel a sense of belonging and feel that it has its own territory in this home.
04
Free and happy
Cats in captivity can't explore outdoors as freely as wild cats, but they can still find a lot of fun at home. For example: they can play with various interesting toys, interact with the owner, and explore everywhere in the room. In addition, cats can act as they wish indoors, which is also a kind of freedom. (Even there is freedom to control humans...)
05
Own many "properties"
Cats in indoor captives usually have many "properties", including various cat nests, cat toys, cat crawling racks, cat scratching boards, etc. These items are purchased by the owner to meet the cat's living and entertainment needs. Cats can use these "properties" at will to get fun and satisfy them.
06
Proper outdoor activities
Although indoor captive cats have somehow lost their chances of outdoor adventures, they also get a lot of other benefits. For cats, indoor captivity may not be a painful bondage, but a relatively safe, comfortable and happy lifestyle.
As the owner, in addition to food and clothing, immunity and deworming, and health examinations, we should also pay attention to the spiritual needs of cats, and provide them with a safe and exploratory environment as much as possible, and accompany them more. If the cat is brave and has a suitable personality to go out, you can take the cat out while ensuring safety, making their lives more colorful.
