Choosing a kitten ? Indoor cat or outdoor cat?Posted by Jennifer on September 26th, 2018 Choosing a kitten – Indoor cat or outdoor cat?
You can already picture yourself driving home with that tiny meowing little creature wrapped in a blanket on the backseat getting all the attention in the world from your kids. How do you know which kitten is the right one for you?First, you need to look at your future cats’ surroundings. Will the cat spends a lot of time indoors because you live in an apartment, or should you pick an outdoor cat that can freely roam the fields around your farm? Examples of typical indoor cat breeds are the Russian Blue, Persian cats and Ragdoll cats. Typical outdoor cats are those cats with a higher activity level. Examples of cat breeds who make ideal outdoor cats are the California Spangles cat, the Pixie-Bob, the Ragamuffin or the Burmese cat. All cats who would love to go outside and explore their territory. Besides how you live, you also want to think about the aspects of cats who spent most of their time in the house vs. outdoor living.
On the other hand, when you pick an outdoor cat you will give the cat the opportunity to explore itself to its fullest. Another big plus is that you will notice that the litter tray of an outdoor cat needs less regular cleaning. They do their business while outside. Could be a thing you might want to consider, especially if you are asthmatic, allergic to cats or just don’t like the idea of scooping poop from the cat litter and changing the litter box. These are just a few things you should consider before deciding on picking up a kitten. First, decide between an indoor or an outdoor cat, then look at the cat breeds which fall into those categories. And finally, select the cats which have the best character which fits your family and your conditions. This way you will pick the best possible kitten you and your family will enjoy for many years to come. Enjoy your new fluffy family member! Like it? Share it! |
