Just because it is a custom to let them roam in the UK does not mean you should do it. There are more cars now, for one thing. It is a myth that cats cannot be happy when kept indoors! And, you can let your cat out in the garden when you are there to watch him. Buck tradition and keep your kitty safe and happy. Once you keep him in a while he will not want to roam when you are out with him as he will be used to being in the house and in the garden only when you are there.

I also think the OP could fatten the cat up just a little, feed him extra tasty things, and stuff him.. this will sedate Tom a little... make him too lazy to care about going back out or maybe take the edge off of Tom's prowling withdrawals |

Best of both worlds, get some fresh air and still be safe. |
