My cat (mentioned above) was a mostly indoor cat - we spoiled him with tons of blankets, toys, his very own sofa; he was allowed to eat his breakfast at the table with anyone who was also having breakfast (and of course you really needed to talk to him because he liked that). From his point of view, the treat containers were bottomless. He was very, very spoiled and loved to be held, kissed, snuggled, sung to... he was such a lovely cat.

Caring parents know where their kids are at all times.
