well it sure ain't about the cats
The people here who try to villify the LW because she lets cats outdoors are a little overzealous! Lots of people let their cats outdoors and it doesn't mean they're horrible people. Not all vets or animal lovers agree cats should be locked indoors. Many people beleive that cats should be able to live as their nature intends: outdoors. Many people beleive that to lock a cat indoors is to deny his true nature for his whole life. It would be like locking a zoo animal indoors instead of letting him run free in the wild. I and my extended family have all had cats who were allowed to go outdoors and they all lived long healthy lives.
Anyway, that argument and self-rightous blame does not belong here. This issue is about the child's stress and the father's choices. Leave cat-raising issue to another forum.
