Nope, it doesn't because I love my cat and have respect for my neighbors. I
don't want him to be attacked by anything he cannot defend himself from
(dogs, coyotes, cars, other cats), nor do I wish dead animal presents to be
presented to me by him -- I'll take the fur mouse any day.

I'm not saying you don't love your cat BTW - but you may be ****ing off your
neighbors if/when kitty is on their cat, digging up gardens to do his biz,
etc.

I had a cat that had to be in a cast for a month when he had his back leg
broken at 6 weeks. You need to keep them inside until they are healed.
Maybe move the box and food and water to a certain place in your house so
the cat can get access to it without having to walk to far.
