Closed doors?
So in my family, we're kind of softies for cats. Over the years, we've had tons of cats, mainly strays which have come to our door. And now we've adopted another. This is Tito. He lives in our basement. One night a while ago, when I was home alone, he came to the top of the steps and sat there crying to go outside. I wouldn't let him out though, no matter how much he cried. I know, I'm so cruel... But the truth is, he has no front claws. Front claws, in case you don't know, are a cat's front line of defense (which is why I think it's terribly cruel to de-claw them, but that's another story). Without those claws, it's really hard for cats to defend themselves should they need to. And where I live, dogs sometimes roam free, and there are other animals Tito could tousle with.
