By the by, where did I, at any time, ask for any sympathy? I was relating a personal experience with what I saw as an example of overzealousness on the part of an animal welfare organization.
I don't really care if anyone feels sorry for me or not. That was totally not the point. Similarly, I don't care if anyone disagrees with me or not. I am able to observe my cats' behaviors, and I think I understand what they want from their cat lives. For example, I have four cats. The male I've been talking about is quite independent and is prone to longish outdoor excursions. Two others rarely leave the yard, except to go into the back field (which is utterly devoid of large, fast moving vehicle traffic). The youngest is still figuring out his world, but he, too, seems to be of an outdoorish persuasion so far.
You know, *I* run the risk of being killed every time I go out of the house. Maybe my wife needs to keep me locked up inside so I don't get squished by a semi?
