Katex, they do learn those things, but in places where it would not be safe to have them free..... a lead is the answer...well, if you can train them to one. I have to say that I never managed it with my persians and lived in fear of them getting out of the house because they were a right senseless pair.
They were both brought up with dogs so they weren't so much of a problem.....they were both neutered so procreation really wasn't their 'bag'.
They were really pampered lap cats......now Pasha, our moggy is a different thing altogether....she was a stray so she has all the sense you would associate with cats......I don't worry so much about her.
She's neutered too....so no kittens......which I think is the way to go.
The Pedigree cats......I think they have had some of their sense bred out of them. Mine certainly had.
so I think we will have to agree to disagree on this one Katex
