I got this book out of the library rather than wasting my money on buying it. It is full of delusions and half truths designed to soothe the guilty consciences of those who imprison their cats. Funny, all its 'strategies' for making an indoor cat's life a little bit more bearable look suspiciously like the things it could do if you let it out - climbing things, chasing things, investigating things, except that of course, none of them work, because as we all know a cat gets bored with a new toy in about 10 minutes.

Instead of buying this cat jailer's manual, how about setting your cat free to take his or her chances in the big wide world, just like your parents did with you, just like every animal in the wild has a right to? How would you like to be kept indoors every day? Do you think you're so fascinating and interesting that a cat would rather be with you than out rolling in the grass and chasing mice?

Tell you what, if you think indoor cats are so happy shut up in your house all day, why not offer them the choice? Open the door and let them decide - I've never met a cat yet that wouldn't choose freedom.
