It seems easy to me. (1) don't install cat doors and (2) don't let the cat out the door. I would LIKE to go outside but my Mom says "no" and I back away from the door. How much easier is it that that? I don’t quite understand this post “Update: It’s not that easy keeping cats indoors.” It seems easy to me.

My cat was a feral kitty and therefore cannot stand being indoors. She goes crazy but I hated letting her out because she was killing birds. I tried bells on her collar and they did not work. She was too stealthy. I only let her out during the day, and not in the AM, but I found a product that works and has prevented her from killing birds while still allowing her to freely enjoy the outdoors and do everything she normally does. It's called the Cat Bib. I am a bird loving cat owner so dead birds on my porch was very distressing to me. The Cat Bib is endorsed by the Audobon Society because it is proven to protect birds from cats while still allowing cats to enjoy the outdoors and do everything they normally do. I was very skeptical, especially because it was so inexpensive (plus free shipping) and it didn't seem possible that something as simple as a lightweight neoprene bib would save birds, but let me tell you, since wearing the bib she is as happy as ever and still spends all day outdoors and NO DEAD BIRDS on my porch. She was killing three a day before wearing this. It works! The bib wraps around your kitty's collar with a velcro strap. It is safe as long as you use a breakaway collar. I already lost it once when the collar broke away, and hence the bib, but later found it in the bushes. It is very ligthweigth and your kitty may at first try to 'walk over it' but eventually gets used to it. In fact, now my kitty likes it because she knows when I put it on her collar it means she gets to go outside. It's washable so every night I take it off and hand wash it and leave it out to dry until the next day. It's the same material as a wetsuit. Plus it's brightly colored so this also helps birds to see the cat sneaking up on it. The bib acts as a sort of "wall barrier" that lifts up as your kitty goes to pounce thus giving it the extra time it needs to get away. I'm a true believer of this product because I have seen for myself that it works, and while some cats just cannot be kept indoors no matter how hard you try, and while you can't change a kitty's natural instinct to hunt, you can help birdies while also allowing your kitty to still enjoy the outdoors and do what it does naturally. Plus, the bright colors hopefully will keep your cat safer from cars as they are more easily seen outside when wearing this product. Cat Bib is the name of the product...if you google it you will find the website...i think it's catgoods.com. I just want to add a comment to the comment about keeping cats indoors.

Andromeda adored her cats, but they weren't allowed to hurt anything, even mice would be rescued and bought to us for release.

It's great in the compost heap. But I have to be frank and say Mummy hardly finds the time to make her own food, let alone make cat food - can't see that one happening.

I don't know if thay use it or not. We are still looking for an alternative to clay litter. So far the wheat litter is a bust.
