Cocoa addresses outside vs inside


“Dear Cocoa,

I am an outside cat and I absolutely love it!  I cannot understand any feline who Wants to stay inside the house.  There are no flying things to chase, no sun-warmed stones to lie on, no mice and small rodents to eat, and no trees to climb.  With all of that excitement, why would any feline want to hide inside?

I do understand your desire to remain outdoors and free; however, I have learned from long experience that the cold, wet, snowy, freezing weather with little food and water far out-weighs the playing and insect/rodent meals.  Inside, you are warm, can still lie in the sun, have food and water available year-round, and have plenty of toys to play with so you can stay in shape.  Plus, there are no enemies to stalk you and no loud, obnoxious machines to chase you around (well, with one exception but that item only comes out occasionally and just sucks up the dirt).  Hope I have helped you.

Signed Cocoa”
