For me now, all cats are indoor but I live in the city with too many big
streets too close. If I lived well in the country, I'd let'em sun
outside.

My cat is indoors only, but just to let others know, we have a second
home in a very rural area which means coyotes, hawks, bobcats, and god
only knows what else. My husband found a rabbit foot in our back
yard. Just the foot. The rest of the body was eaten by a coyote most
likely.

We have a raised deck about 30 feet off the ground because it's on the
side of a hill. There's no way my cat could get off the deck. I used
to take him, supervised, out onto the deck and he enjoyed sitting on
the lounge chair watching the hummingbirds and other birds frolicing
about. Now even *he* won't go out there. I wonder what he saw?
(rhetorical question) He knows a good thing when he sees it......he's
now back inside where he belongs.

It's amazing how some cats are smarter than humans that way.
