Outdoor cats are domestic cats that spend a significant amount of time outside, exploring their environment. They may hunt small animals, such as birds and rodents, and often enjoy climbing trees and basking in the sun. While outdoor cats can lead active lives, they also face risks from traffic, predators, and diseases. Many owners allow their cats to roam outdoors for exercise and mental stimulation. However, it's important to consider the impact on local wildlife and the potential dangers to the cat. Some people choose to keep their cats indoors or provide a catio to ensure their safety while still allowing them to enjoy the outdoors.
