I would like nothing more -- but she would not be happy. She spent
the night inside last night...and she stays inside in winter...but she was an
outdoor cat when she adopted me and decided to live on my front porch and she is
not happy when she has to stay indoors on beautiful days. All the
neighbors will tell you that if she leaves my porch at all - it is only to go
into the yard and she never leaves the property unless I walk over to a
neighbors house and then she follows me.
I'm torn about it but she would be very unhappy as a strictly indoor
cat.
