I must have missed some posts because I don't understand how these 'jackets'
work????

Well done, Caroline. You and your mother must be both saddened and relieved
at once. I'm sure you will miss her, but knowing that she is going home to a
place where she is loved is a consolation.
For 2 to 3 cat households, jackets are a great way to allow cats outdoors to
roam around with relative safety.
It really has changed all our lives. MeMe can spend hours on end hunting bugs
or watching the bird bath and I
no longer have the guilt of keeping her in, or the anxiety of worrying about
where she is. She goes in and out
a dozen times a day. I've begun putting her coat on in the morning and taking
it off at night.

No, I don't think they have the animal cruelty issue like we do. You
have to remember that England's version of police officers don't even carry
guns!!! Because they so rarely have any violent crime! An animal cruelty is a
violent crime.
I have always taken all my cats out on leashes, and now, harnesses. And I
moved to the house I live in now a year ago, pretty much for Monkee. So that
he could have a front, screened in and enclosed porch...which he worshiped. I
moved there last August, not knowing that it would be the last year of his
life, and that come Aug. 2007, he'd be gone. But I know for a fact that last
year of his life was his happiest because he LOVED that porch more than
anything! I hope to eventually always have a similar (but bigger) screened and
enclosed porch for all the kitties I will someday have. They get the best of
both worlds that way!

Yes, and for some reason, I am thinking that they do not have the "animal
cruelty" problem there that we have here.
I could be wrong.
My cats actually seem "healthier" since they have access to the fresh air.
No matter what the weather is like, they are out there.
At night, of course, they have to sleep on top of me.

Susan,
I noticed that about England on a British cat chat site that I was once a
member of. But they all had backyards that were very small with fences and very
interesting tops to the fences that kept the cats from crawling over. I hope
someday to have a nice cat enclosure, but I could never have a fenced in yard.
Our yard is much too bigplus we like our neighbors and dont want to fence
them out! J But, I do sometimes feel cruel not letting the kitties out. I know
theyd love to run around and roll around in the grass. This will remind me to
keep saving for an enclosure!
