Outside or in???????

"Dear Cocoa,

While I am one of the smartest felines I know, I have been wondering about something that, because I am outdoors and not indoors, I can't figure out.  Why do the cats that are indoors sit at the windows and ask me to get them out?  Are they really a prisoner?  Are they being tortured or something?  Should I break them out as they ask?  Please help.

"Dear Is the Window a Prison,

You are seeing that horrid monster called Feline Envy.  You see, the cats at the windows want to go out and enjoy the freedom that you enjoy, but they don't want to because they will lose the pampering they are getting.  You see, when inside they are fed, given toys and a warm place to sleep.  They are warm in the winter and cool in the summer.  They are more than content.  But the Wander Lust is still there and they envy your abilities to do just that.  Do not break them out, however, because they would not know how to live without the pampering.  Once pampered, always pampered.  

Signed Cocoa"
