    Our cat also has the option to stay in at night but opts to go out. The first couple of nights the OH was woken by louds yowls at the back door - she uses her litter tray and had plenty of food but she still wants to head off - now she doesn't even wait for us to go to bed she justs looks to go out before we go to bed

    We have a nice (& expensive) insulated cat house filled with cushions for her outside as well that she won't use and heads off to gods knows where :rolleyes:

    Cats are an outdoors animal naturally. Their fur is made to withstand such drastic temperature changes. Also a cat is a remarkably self centred animal and is capable of finding the warmest and most cosy spot to snooze.

    It is the same with other animals. People think they need to keep their labrador near the fire these nights, they like it, but they are made to withstand harsher climates.

    Humans can withstand an awful lot as well, but we don't force them to prove it every time there's half a chance.
    So why would we do it to our pets? Just because we can sit inside and watch them "survive" in the outside world? Having a pet is about a bit more than just keeping it barely alive.
