Why It\u2019s Best to Keep Your Cat Indoors<\/strong><\/a> <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n

Indoors or outdoors. What\u2019s best for your cat? There are some cat people who believe their cats should be inside all the time, while others think that having them outdoors all the time or part of the time is a good idea. So, what\u2019s best for your cat?<\/p>\n

There is a lot of information pointing to keeping your cat indoors for safety reasons. \u201cIndoor cats live significantly longer than outdoor cats, whose lives are often cut tragically short by disease, injuries, and many other dangers that they may face outside,\u201d according to the article, \u201c10 Reasons Why Your Cat Should Be an Indoor-Only Cat\u201d at PetHelpful.com. <\/p>\n

The article mentions some of the following reasons for keeping your cat indoors where it is a safe environment. Indoor cats are:<\/p>\n

\u2022\tSafe from other animals.
\n\u2022\tSafe from humans.
\n\u2022\tSafe from vehicles.
\n\u2022\tSafe from inclement weather.
\n\u2022\tLess likely to get diseases.<\/p>\n

According to the article, \u201cWhy Your Cat Should Stay Indoors: Part I\u201d at PetHealthNetwork.com, \u201cDid you know the average lifespan for an outdoor cat is just 3 to 5 years while indoor cats average 13-171?\u201d<\/p>\n

The PetHealthNetwork article warns about other dangers to outdoor cats including cat fight wounds from fighting with other cats, viral infections, parasites, car accidents, poisons, and wild animals. Keeping them indoors typically means keeping them safe 24\/7.<\/p>\n

Staff member of the month \u2013 Sherry Blake \u2013 our cat expert and Guest Service Attendant <\/p>\n

As a guest service attendant at Second Home Pet Resort, Sherry Blake is responsible for the care of the animals, feeding, cleaning their rooms, and administering medications to the cats. While she works with dogs and cats, she has an affinity for felines, and she is also known as the \u201ccat expert\u201d at Second Home. \u201cI am really good at noticing medial issues in cats because of my vet tech background,\u201d Sherry said. <\/p>\n

She grew up with pets in her home, so it\u2019s no wonder she became a vet tech. She has been with Second Home for 11.5 years, and she views the pets as her own. \u201cI\u2019ve seen puppies and kittens become seniors there,\u201d Sherry said. \u201cI connect with them. I bond with them a lot so it\u2019s very rewarding that way. It\u2019s a family there.\u201d<\/p>\n

Sherry likes to ensure pet parents that their pets are in good hands. \u201cI definitely put people at ease,\u201d she said. \u201cI take care of the animals like I know the owners would want them taken care of.\u201d<\/p>\n

The reason Sherry has been at Second Home so long is because of the \u201cfamily feel\u201d and the respect that everyone has for the animals.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
