Allergic skin problems are common Fall Outdoor cats get into problems with fleas and fanbelts. Second breeding season for promiscious females. Anti-freeze, lawn chemical & other poisoning is common. INDOOR CATS ARE HEALTHY CATS, they should be fine if supervised when outdoors. Those bruisers who spend 3-4 days away at a time are a definite risk.... to the wallet.
