My house has no A/C so bringing it in during the summer would be cruel... especially when I spend most of the day outside myself.
As you can see... I am working very hard to ensure Thomas D. Cat stays warm but is able to do his job of controlling mice around my home and shop (which is difficult for him to do from inside the house).
Lastly, as I touched on earlier, he isn't a pet as much as he is a working member of my homestead. I have two old dogs that have never lived this life so they stay inside and will do so until they die. When they do we are getting two more dogs and (GASP) they will stay outside at all times in the goat pen. Not all animals are "pets" who live a life of comfort and pampering... some have to work for a living.
