That's a bummer, @raj808 - I've lived in a couple of places like that, but luckily not for long. I've always been a big cat lover, and in recent years have become more of a dog person.

Yes, Sid is wearing a harness/lead combo, but it's actually made for a dog, not cat - he's a rather large Tom, so the cat ones didn't fit. We don't really walk him, but for the past six years, he's been an indoor cat with outdoor bathroom privileges. Whenever he needs to "do his business' we put the harness on and take him outside. Given how much wildlife we have around our house (coyotes, hawks, and bears, to name a few), it's a much safer option than letting him go out on his own. 😊
