In Japan, it was once considered normal for cats to move freely indoors. Pet cats can walk outside in the morning and go to a neighbor’s yard to get treatment and fight stray people. However, after advising that cats be kept inside to protect cats from possible accidents or illnesses, Anicom Insurance says 99.5% are exclusively indoor pets.
Recent goods on the market for owners who leave the house to monitor their cat’s well-being include sensors and small cameras. Notably, one high-tech toilet automatically films the cat when it enters, can measure its weight, urine volume, and interval of excretion, and includes a device to monitor early symptoms of such illnesses as chronic kidney disease and chronic renal failure.
