Certainly there are lots of risks to kitties going outside. We now live in a rural area with lots of fun things for kitties to do outside. They love to go out & I would hate to keep them in against their will. We lost one to a coyote that moved into the area last summer. I loved her more than I can say, but she was already used to going outside (she’d been abandoned & had learned to feed herself on mice & birds). I would’ve been fighting to keep her in. We now have 3 females who go out on occasion but stay very close to home & one neutered male who rambles a bit. I want them to enjoy life, not just be alive.
Maybe all of your neighbors don’t enjoy your kitties as much as you do.
Just a thought.
