Dogs and cats are very territorial. If your pet wanders into another s domain, he may be injured or killed in a fight. Wild animals can also attack pets. Owls, raccoons, foxes, wolves, cougars, porcupines and skunks can be a threat to your pet, depending on where you live. Pets can also be harmed or killed by cruel people.
Many people are perfectionists where their yards are concerned.
They get angry when dogs and cats wander onto their property. Some peer out their windows late at night, pellet guns in hand, waiting for an unsuspecting pet to wander by. Other people are just heartless. Since your pet has no reason to feel threatened by strangers, they may find themselves captured by someone who enjoys torturing animals. Pets often become lost.
