    Honest question, how do you keep a cat indoors at night? We used to call them, but sometimes they wouldn’t show up. That meant you might see them the next day, or never again. One little poofy grey cat we had disappeared for a week before turning up soaking wet and meowing frantically. Cats are quick and can make pretty good distance from your house, so when you’re calling them in for the night, they could be literally anywhere. They also like to hunt at sunset, so might just ignore you on purpose.
    That’s my experience anyways. I think some of the other comments here are right, that a limited outdoor space that they could enjoy but not escape from would be ideal. I don’t have a yard so my cats are indoor only. I did try to leash-train the smarter one but she was not having it.

    This was my family when I was a kid. We never had a cat for more than 2-5 years because there were coyotes and pumas out there. Except for one cat who lived to old age. I think we had a dozen cats during my childhood. I remember thinking they were happier with their freedom, even though it meant their lives were short.
    I know better now. I still think cats are happier when they can go outside, but it’s not worth the risk to their lives and also the lives of the local smaller wildlife.























  • I usually spend an hour adjusting the terrain before even starting a city. I don’t like flat land! I’ll make a mountain for rich assholes to live on, and make some kind of park on top that I’ll spend awhile detailing, so my citizens can sit in a nice park and see a great view all around the city. I also like making a big nature reserve with lots of hiking trails and interesting things to see.

    I always try and make my city as bike- and public transit-friendly as possible, I make footpaths and bike lane bridges across bodies of water that the cars have to drive around :). I like building universities too.

    Oh and sometimes I’ll make an entire city block private with only one house, surrounded by trees, with their own fountain and tennis court or something. I wait until a nice house pops up and then make it historical and let them enjoy their little paradise for awhile. And then I launch an asteroid on them. It makes me feel better about being poor in real life.
