Very interesting,when we moved a couple of times always kept cats indoor for at least a week before letting them out.
Would never bring them on a trip to nervous they would get out and get lost.
Personalities differ widely. I’ve had skittish kitties I would never trust going out except in a cat carrier. And then I’ve had cats who were calm to the point of being comatose with all h*ll breaking out around them. You just have to know your cat & be prepared. :-)
