... or in the same context as what Alison's saying, when people go to Tescos and leave their dogs in the house alone does that mean the owner is abandoning their dog???

Going back to what Sue said about being advised to keep cats indoors - okay, agreed some cats really aren't 'built' for being outdoors - Siamese is one, they're just not outdoor-wise cats usually. But it goes to show how differing the advise can be as Battersea won't rehome a cat if you don't have a cat flap
