Tricia Helfer is encouraging cat owners to bring their four-legged friends indoors!

In an ad for People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, Helfer holds a black cat in her arms who could probably be just as happy on the couch as he would on the lawn.

“An indoor cat is a healthy cat,” the ad reads.

Most people would never think of letting a dog roam freely around the neighborhood, and Helfer thinks the same should apply to cats.

There’s a debate among feline lovers over whether or not some cats make good indoor cats, outdoor cats or cats that love both environments (not to mention those indoor cats that sneak out occasionally).

PETA has unveiled its first edition of an animal rights version of a very popular board game.

PETAopoly, a spin on the real estate themed Monopoly, is available for order both from the organization and through select online retailers.

Last year, the group championed Hasbro for putting a rescue cat as a new token.

It’s version of the game has several key themes, including:

• Popular pets and farm animals as tokens, including a cat, dog, chicken, cow and pig.
• A jail that puts players in small, cramped cages akin to those animals endure on factory farms. Players must pay extra money to overcome conditions and diseases animal develop (e.g. avoid getting de-beaked, finance their own antibiotics).
• Get out of Jail Free cards that allow shelter pets to find permanent, loving homes.
• Multiple properties available for purchase to start small-scale organic farming and/or other plant crops.
