Are you insane! You keep your cat prisonner? It cant go outside exept behind iron bars, to give the poor animal a taste of what it will never have!

We have cougars, eagles and wolves in our area that frequently come into our yard in search of snacks like cats or small dogs. I’d much rather keep my cat safely off their menu thank you very much

Are you insane? Who thought the trampoline idea was a safe idea? Any idea how high one can actually jump on a trampoline – and DIVE into a less than optimal depth?
