This is very touching to me. I've almost always made the decision to let my cats out, sometimes supervised and sometimes not. The last one was a wild purebred who had to police her massive territory very seriously and got very bored if she had to stay in. I always managed to grab her struggling into the house for night!
One morning I let her out and she never came back. She was not quite 2 yrs. Through the luck of the neighbourhood and her microchip, I was able to find out she was seen running scared straight into traffic and died due to a hit and run driver.
How many of my cats have met their deaths indoors and how many outside? All I know is that I can't bear the full incarceration of cats. Cats are wild and only deign to join us for a short time! How precious.
