Hi Lain. Like all the others are saying, I agree that you should keep
kitty indoors. All my cats were strictly indoors and they still are in
a way I should say.
It is way too dangerous to let your cat to roam Last year there was a
racoon that had rabies in the yard and it approached the cathouse and
continued around the yard. I followed it around or a while and called
animal control. They said it definitely had drabies and had to destroy
it. I am thankful my kitties where not roaming at the time.

All my cats were always indoor cats. I had a situation a few years ago
where I had to move in with a friend who had no room especially for 7
cats! I had to make an outdoor condo for my kitties. I bought an 8X12
shed (aluminum siding, windows, insulation. heating. etc). I attached a
kennel to the shed so the cats stay enclosed at all times unless
supervised.
Things didn't work out so I moved out 3 years later and took the cat
condo with me. I am now working at a garden center on a farm and live
in the back in a schoolhouse that is now a rental for me. The cat condo
is right next to me. I can see it right from the huge window in my
bedroom. My cats never had it better! They have a beautiful view and I
evenn planted a garden for them. I wish I can take them all inside with
me but the place is just way to small. Even just for me.

There are pics of them when they lived in normal houses with myself and
my twin sister and current ones.
