control their childrens' natural instincts are bad parents, unless their
children are into arson or homocide, etc.}


 I love my cats, but I feed them which makes them strong, give
 them shots to keep them healthy and keep them warm so that
 they don't get weakened by the severe weather outside.  After
 having done all that how 'natural' is their advantage over the critters
 in the environment?{Your cats are lucky--good for you for taking such good
care of them. However, would you really want to train your cats? Even if you
do, how in the world does one train a cat?? If you use corporal punishment
techniques, then you should be reported to the SPCA .}

 All that aside, keep your cats inside where neighbors are close OR
 get an invisible fence would be my suggestion.{ We have an invisible fence
for our dog. But to put a collar on a cat is cruel and unusual cruelty.} >>
