Why does your outdoor cat insist on loathing the indoors?
JaimeLynnSmith
curiosity to see what's in that box or behind that corner, seeing another cat could make them want to play or attack him, many cats want to chase birds, also not being aware of the dangers like cars and some evil people out there.but sometimes they just want to get outside and roll over on the grounds.

If the cat is an outdoor cat, some of the infections the cat contracts can be transferable to humans, such as toxoplasmosis. Most people get the misconception that the infection comes directly from cats, but in fact it is the cat that gets infected when it hunts and eats infected meat, and so the parasite is passed in the cat's stool. People can get this parasite only when the cat itself is infected (generally lasts for about two weeks), which is why it's a good idea to keep the cat indoors.

Outdoor cats are much more likely to need emergency medical care than those cats who live indoors. Outdoor cats tend to get into fights with other cats, causing cuts, bite wounds and infections. They also hunt other animals, which can lead to infections and diseases.

The cat insurance will cover the cost of the vet visit and any medications or necessary medical procedures. It also covers the costs of regular examinations and vaccines.
