My family doesn't want to keep indoor pets, me too(allergy reasons). So I decided while he's a baby he'll be staying just beside our house, i built a fort, with her Mom beside him. Her mom is a true Outdoor cat I met in our backyard months ago, pregnant, very friendlyy to me, so I decided to make her my pet to take care, surprisingly she stayed outside the house, even after labor. She constantly roams free in the wild once in a while but often stays near the fort and also sleeps and rests there, I give them plenty of food morning and night. Will the baby kitten be an outdoor wild cat when he matures, as he is generally outside the house? or will it stay near the house as a pet, safely?
Additionally, the Mom once in a while brings dead prey(mouse) after her adventures, the mom eats some of it but the kitten doesn't eat with her, so maybe the kitten is so used to eating pet food already.
What I mean of outdoor cat: (from a reddit post comparing outdoor vs indoor cat)--------------------------- these are the reasons why im kinda worried and made this post
Pro
- Generally suffer less from obesity
- Are less likely suffer from neuroses associated with lack of stimulation (boredom), like obsessive clawing of furniture or pooping in your shoes
- Less reliance on cat litter
Con
- Will almost surely die much younger, as they are more subject to injuries from fights, getting hit by cars, attacks by predators, as well as infections and diseases
- More likely to pick up fleas, ticks, worms
- More likely to pick us taxoplasma and feline AIDS
- Will kill a lot of small birds, may bring them home as "presents"
- Never around when you want them
- May get stolen by someone
