<font color="blue"> bird, etc off your property you must have it on a leash </font color>

Love to see someone with a bird on a leash [img]/forums/images/icons/wink.gif[/img]. I'm sure it's been done...

Couldn't agree with you more. Our cats are indoor only because we want to spare them the reality of Real Life Outdoors. They ever decide they want to face it, they're on their own out there. And one of the true realities of life is, "Dogs chase cats".

You put your cats out where dogs could be, you should be ready to deal with the obvious result.
