I recently adopted a 6 week old kitten that was born outside and has lived outside its whole life. It only wants to eat it's food outside and seems to like it outside better. But I feel so guilty leaving it on my screened in porch because it's so young and I don't want anything bad to happen. A lot of stray animals live in the area. Plus I feel like the kitten may think I'm pushing it away when all I want is for it to be comfortable. Help please. 😧

Yes, studies have found that cats live much longer when you don't allow them to roam outside. Why not leash the kitten like you would with a dog? Get a little cat house too.
