Picture this: You have a cat. You love this cat. This cat also enjoys going outside and strolling around its immediate environment, or does he? Well, he meows at the window when he sees the neighboring cats prancing about outside. You, as a caring and doting cat parent, can only wonder to yourself: 'Should I be letting my cat outside? He seems to really long for some quality friend time with the neighboring cats.' Then you might be the original poster of this cat advice-seeking thread we came across today.
OP has recently observed that her cat often stares out of the window meowing in the direction of the cat with free reign. We think it makes sense that OP felt that perhaps this meant that her cat wanted a playdate, but fortunately for her, there is Reddit to turn to get advice and hear from other cat parents! So let's hear what the cat-folk of Reddit had to say on the matter.
"Posted by u/MainAsk434 6 days ago My 1 year old, indoor only cat always cries and meows when she see the neighbor outdoor cats from the window. Am I being cruel for confining her?"
A little context is always good.
"My cat is young and kind of stupid, she just loves to run to people for attention. I worry that her naïveté to the outside world will result in her injury, or even worse, some terrible accident where she dies. I can't tell if I'm being overprotective or irrational."
We say, neither!
