Our 2 cats are definitely house cats.  Being declawed makes them pretty helpless in the real world.  We used to let them play in the back yard when we líved in another house, but after they got older, we just figured it wasn’t worth the risk of losing one.  We open the windows when the weather is nice and they can lay against the screen.

Mr. Dog is a house mongrel also, for the most part.  But he does go out with me to play frisbee or ball and he accompanies us to the park for walks.
