take these risks with your cat, then let her go outside. If you are not,
then protect your cat by keeping her inside.
If you allow your cat any access at all to the outdoors, it is impor-
tant to get the cat on a routine where she comes inside from dusk to
dawn to limit her exposure to the increased dangers of the night. It is
also crucial to place some kind of identification on her such as a collar,
tag, microchip, ear tag, tattoo or a combination of these. Nationwide,
only 2 percent of the cats picked up by animal control agencies are ever
reclaimed by their owners.Without identification these cats are consid-
ered strays. Unfortunately, most unclaimed cats face death. If you are
concerned about the safety of a collar, breakaway styles are available and
work well.
