Cats have the cognitive ability to consider the consequences and make informed choices of a toddler. Get a friendly enclosed area made specifically for kitty or let them explore the natural world every day on a harnesses and leash that they cannot get out of. It is not only owners but the animals that suffer real damage when they are hit by cars, snatched to be sold to experimental labs, harmed or abused by mean sick people, attacked by dogs or wolves, coyotes, etc.
