I found a way to keep them indoors, while away from family members with their judgmental eyes. They stay at a storage/laundry area. They are no longer caged. At night, when people are asleep, I let them roam the entire house. <br /><br />One of the cats is an adventurous outdoor type. I let her roam on a neighbor's rooftop when circumstance permits, and I trust she'll stay safe. (They are spayed.) She should have as much freedom as she wants, while we maintain other people's psychological/territorial boundaries.<br /><br />I wish the same for humanity, a true freedom. Something that respects others' desires, while allowing us to do our own thing, knowing it's what we really want.Icehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12780958649083066251noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8265992965404854594.post-64873364086216544322016-10-10T08:48:16.593-04:002016-10-10T08:48:16.593-04:00A Fox - Thanks for your concern too!

Maybe the dog incarnated specifically to help this person? <br /><br />"There was a story, from the book, of someone who was going to commit suicide by overdose. When they went to open the bottle, their springer spaniel jumped in their lap, bearing it's teeth and growling fiercly. The person was so shaken that they put the pills away, at which point, the springer jumped back in the lap and happily lapped at their owners face."Buddhist Ladyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06841772318272338142noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8265992965404854594.post-64007952474063297492016-10-09T13:57:57.689-04:002016-10-09T13:57:57.689-04:00icqgirl 2--I admire you greatly for trying to keep...icqgirl 2--I admire you greatly for trying to keep and help these cats. Apparently, you are having trouble with both the landlord and your family's feelings.<br /><br />May I second everything Serene said? Perhaps another good, loving home is the answer. (Always check the home and people if possible.) A shelter (no kill or not) would also be good.<br /><br />Cats are stalkers and predators by nature, and I think their spirit diminishes when they're caged.Buddhist Ladyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06841772318272338142noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8265992965404854594.post-73387953858956601592016-10-09T02:11:17.383-04:002016-10-09T02:11:17.383-04:00Icgirl,

Please look at the laws and if there's something that's being done to you that you can actually fight back against legally regarding your cats. I lived in an apartment before and sometimes tenants are bullied ( especially when it comes to pets) because the landlord or superintendent knows they won't fight back or figures they don't know the law. <br />Maybe you can keep them in the cage for a few months till you figure out a solution, or even lease a new place next year. Plus how the heck do they know if your cats are out or in the cage ?<br /><br /> Perhaps your cats understand that it's safest for them right now to be caged , their perception is not always the same as ours as Lynn just said. It's comforting to them I'm sure that you sit by them.Adriennehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04971910797952943684noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8265992965404854594.post-65184114470856888342016-10-06T19:53:25.179-04:002016-10-06T19:53:25.179-04:00Icgirl - If what you mean is to set them free outs...Icgirl - If what you mean is to set them free outside, you are best off finding them another home. I work with a feline rescue group and feed several feral colonies, please understand that abandonment is something you definitely don't want to do (even if you are planning to return to feed and water them). <br /><br />There are so many cats and kittens that are abandoned, some with well meaning intentions of returning to feed and water. Please know though that these ferals (some are truly feral, some are tame, some were tame that became feral) are open to dogs, other cats that are not fixed and very territorial, mean people, and the elements. We see it all the time. Some of the colonies we tend have up to 50 cats, with people coming around regularly and dumping their unwanted litters because they were too lazy in the first place to get their cat/dog fixed. It's worse if they are not fixed, they continue to breed and their numbers can become enormous.<br /><br />We work to find the tame ones in our colonies (new ones show up regularly) and find them homes. The ferals and fed and watered regularly, we are all volunteers. It is not easy, there are so many cats, kittens, dogs and puppies and not enough safe places to put them. If you truly are worried about their happiness, the last thing you want to do is set them free somewhere, even if you intend to return to feed them or not. If you cannot find a loving home, the cat(s) are best off at the shelter (where they can potentially find a home). Or if they are not doing well, or you cannot find a secure home for them, know that euthanasia is not a crime! You are simply releasing them to the Other Side (where there's plenty of roaming space for our animals).<br /><br />I'm hoping you are able to find a way around them living in a cage. Maybe the cats understand the situation already and are content with a small space, I don't know? Perhaps another living situation will come around that might work better. With all the years of experience I have with rescue, abandoning out into the open is the last thing you want to do.<br /><br />I hope I have helped and may you find a viable solution for your feline companions.

It's good timing, really. <br /><br />Recently, I had been forced to keep two of our adult cats in a cage. We lease our place, and the landlord couldn't care less about cats and... these cats have pretty much been banned from where they grew up since kittenhood. My own family is averse to their existence as well, and I'd been feeling alone in my battle. I'd been given threats that they'd be thrown out.<br /><br />As a human, I have a judgment that says these cats deserve to roam freely. This is the first day that I keep their cage close to me. They were calm, and looked content. Maybe they were satisfied that I accompanied them. Maybe they felt they were safe. I watched them sleep and I felt happy. <br /><br />For a long time, I had thought about transferring them to... at least a safer part outside (abandonment, with mercy?), and bring them food. Better than being caged, I thought. Which would benefit them most? After this post and comment thread, it's starting to feel like the latter.Icehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12780958649083066251noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8265992965404854594.post-64010639180164477962016-10-06T03:43:57.021-04:002016-10-06T03:43:57.021-04:00@Flood

No Buddhist sutras ever wrote that you'll come back as an earthworm if you commit suicide, that's misinterpretation of the sutras.<br /><br />Committing suicide will just mean you have to undergo the same lesson again in the next life and you'll have to live with a bodyless existence (ghost) before your next reincarnation.<br /><br />Most beings reincarnate to develop their souls to higher forms but sometimes, we do temporarily slip back in evolution when the harsh lesson deems too much to endure and they commit suicide.<br />Alexhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07985267894943216317noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8265992965404854594.post-8829840672619753932016-10-06T00:40:38.690-04:002016-10-06T00:40:38.690-04:00@Alex

We have to be all things to truly know what "all thing" entail. <br /><br />We are also living the past, present and future all at once, but our focus (I get) is on our most dominate life form (the one we are learning the most from) at the time. And, we experience that life form in a linear way because it is difficult to measure it in any other form.<br /><br />I also see some other discussion. I do encourage all points of view as this is how we learn from each other, but lets work on expanding our thinking rather than judgments. There really is no absolute right or wrong, so lets work on expanding our thoughts... <br /><br />Much love-<br /><br />Lynn White, Focus Sessionshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01426009557676118790noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8265992965404854594.post-19472493459836454322016-10-05T17:29:55.096-04:002016-10-05T17:29:55.096-04:00Also I have another point in that animals hunt to ...Also I have another point in that animals hunt to survive.

Loyalty to me is when I am down or upset he comes to me, cuddles in and comforts me, as we do for him. Ours is treated as an equal, just because he lacks the ability to curl facial muscles to speak to us in English or use his dew claw as an opposable thumb to make himself meals on the stovetop does not make them any less evolved. My point being was that many animals have a higher sense of intuition and kindness that isn't seen in a lot humans (and I'm not generalising by saying "all") so I'm some ways they are more evolved than us and obviously less in other ways. Until you have a bond with another species you won't understand what I'm saying. <br /><br />Also how do you know if animals don't meditate? Have you asked one? For all we know they do, they don't need to sit cross legged and hum with their eyes closed for us to witness it.

The trouble is, many of us eat up what we hear, thinking it's "news" and "truth." The Psychic Focus site offers us all a fresh perspective on what is going on in our world today and how to better understand it and this life experience we are all going through. No one is forcing their opinions on us and speaking for myself, I have always felt that the main message has been to love and respect ourselves and one another because we are ALL part of God. <br /><br />Justice, I'm not entirely sure animals are on a lower evolutionary scale. Because they can't speak or understand the human spoken language but may be able to communicate telepathically put their supposed level of lesser evolution up for debate. <br /><br />I've known many humans whose basic desires are food, sleep, sex and couldn't care less about anyone except themselves. I've also known many kinds of animals that would never steal from or beat up someone just for fun, or express the level of hate that you sometimes see spewing from many humans. <br /><br />Serenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17111154506371903226noreply@blogger.com
