Indoor cats have the privilege of being shielded from catching transmittable diseases and illnesses from other cats. FIV, Feline Leukemia, and Feline Infectious Peritonitis are the least of their concerns. In addition to safety from their natural predators like wolves and dogs (depending on their locale), inhumane humans out to get them, and even stealing them, there is a decreased likelihood of inevitable accidents, including being injured as they fall from a tree, accidents in the road, and drowning. Similarly, relocating the cat away from its former home is considered distressing for them too.
Deaf cats should preferably be homebound because they are more likely to be involved in mishaps like traffic accidents for their inability to hear road sounds. The road accident hazard is eliminated for some, especially those living in high-rise buildings. Others decide to confine their cats to indoor environments as a regime, such as overnight, when they believe they are more vulnerable to a car accident. And some simply limit their cats’ overall outdoor movements. There are even restrictions on where and when cats can be in some countries.
