I made a promise to Laurel and Hardy: play with them many times daily so they are not bored inside. Such is what one must do with indoor cats. We never played with TumTum, who came and went as she pleased, never longer than 10 hours out at a time. Always inside at night. but otherwise, way more freedom for Tummo than for Laurel and Hardy. Times and mentalities have changed. So have we after meeting Laurel and Hardy and researching on adopting cats.
