I would keep my cat inside, however, I had agreed to take it in because she was in a household that was dangerous to her. One of the kids would abuse her(locked her up in a suitcase, etc.). Unfortunately, the family would let her go outside so she was already accustomed to being in the outdoors.I did try to keep her in for 6 months, but she basically was going insane and so were we. It was either bring her to the pound,euthanise her, or let her go outside. Call me a bleeding heart, but I just did not have it in me to do anything else.
I do have two other cats that I have also rescued(the mom while still pregnant-now fixed, and her kitten-neutered), but I have managed to keep them in the house.
As far as I know, my cat has done nothing to anybody else's property. If she had, I would have had to get rid of her. so far I have had no complaints.
So anyway, are you agreeing with my lovely neighbor in regards to my cat being equivalent to a dog that can potentially attack my children and completely destroy our property?

If your cat happens to use your neighbors' flowerbed for a litterbox, that could be dangerous if your neighbor was pregnant.
