Hehe... that story reminds me of one I heard about a dog my dad had while he was a kid. He was a Border Collie, I believe, and got loose on day. Sometime in the afternoon, he came back with a half-eaten cooked ham in his mouth. To this day, the precise origin of the ham is unknown.

And I'll agree with you on finding nothing wrong with indoor\outdoor cats. I've known lots, and I think it's good for cats to be allowed to roam.
