My sister lives in Arizona and is a HUGE animal lover! But yet she has a cat door and hers come and go at will. I can’t tell you how many cats she’s gone through due to coyotes, rattlesnakes etc. Lots of wailing and grief. Go figure.

Our present neighborhood doesn’t seem to have many coyotes. Outdoor cata both pets and feral proliferate. We also have no roof rats. Does your sister live near the mountains? That where many hazards dwell. Some people accept attrition as the cost of a cat living his life… sort of like motorcyclists.

It’s a tough decision. I love my cats but they insist on going out to hunt birds or field mice or hang out in the back yard. My neighbor told me that my cat would use his dogs “door” and go into his house and hang out with the dog...caused no trouble....
