Thread: One indoor one outdoor cat-problems?

As a UK breeder, I would be horrified if any of my kitten owners let them outside. I state in my contract that all of our Maine Coons need to be indoor cats or go to homes where they have a garden enclosure.

Apart from anything else, they do not have any road sense like moggies seem to have bred into them and a family down the road from me had a Maine Coon who ran out in the road chasing a car and got knocked down and killed - I was the one who found her body. You also have to bear in mind that these are pedigree cats and therefore much more likely to be stolen, something which is made much easier by their nature which makes them want to be friends with everyone.

Just because your moggies goes out, doesn't mean your maine coons should. My opinion obviously but I do not know a single other reputable breeder that sells to outdoor homes.
