Dogs now days have to be trained to chase cats??!!?

Seriously though, I've been a cat owner my entire life, and there's a simple solution to this problem. Cats that are kept as house pets should not be allowed to go outside. Outdoor cats cannot be controlled and are invariably going to be bad neighbours by spraying and dumping in flower beds. It's not their fault either ... it's not something that can trained out of them. So the responsible and neighbourly thing for cat owners to do is keep their cats indoors. I've owned several cats now that have never been outside, and they're happy, well adjusted cats. Having never been outside, they have no desire to go out either. They live longer as well ... no cat has ever been hit by a car while crossing the living room as far as I know.
