Kat - Yeah, I know there are numerous dangers for a cat in the country...but I always just accepted the fact that life involves a certain amount of danger. If I couldn't accept that, I probably wouldn't drive a car.

It's when the danger passes what I consider a reasonable level that I take extra precautions. We all have different ideas of how to define "reasonable", though.

I always figured quality of life was more important than duration of life when it came right down to it. If I was a cat, I'd want to get outside and take my chances, knowing that I had a nice home to come back to afterward.
