I can assure you Dr. Smith... Oreo was not looking for a warm home in summer on the quiet machines. She explored them all when hubby went for his after dinner walks. She goes with him for those, and checks out the neighborhood. We have many photos. While I am aware of feral wild cats and animals seeking warmth to SURVIVE outdoors in cold weather, our cats have a nice snug back porch with pet door, and second story pet door window to come and go safely.
I only offer MY experiences as a cat owner for 40 years. We have enjoyed out cats and feel honored that they stayed with us and had very long lives. They have been our friends...and I'd like others to have this same wonderful experience too.
