Do you let your cats out?This is a discussion thread · 5 replies I myself don't really let my cat out... Only when we used to go to country on summer, we took him with us. But in the city he's always at home because there seem too many dangerous things out there (cars, dregs, dogs, doors, etc...). Besides, we live on the 8th floor, and the front door is mostly closed, so it might become tough for him to get back... Same goes for me, I don't let them out because I live in a 3rd floor apartment and I am terrified for them to start getting "courageous" and falling off the balcony and terrace. I do let them out when I am outside though. It's not that I don't trust my cats, I know they can balance perfectly and they've got good instincts but... I don't trust my cats  Though seriously, I would love for them to experience the outside a lot more so I'm hoping one day I will have a place with at least a small garden for them to enjoy. It would have to be a secluded garden because otherwise I'd be too scared they'd run away... but let's get the garden first hehe. Barb: Nope, mine are totally indoor babies. There have been a very few times when we've been out on the back deck and have invited them to come out with us, but they don't have any idea about survival outside - dogs, foxes, cars, etc. That's why when Mickey managed to slip out when it was so freezing cold out and was gone overnight, I was pretty sure I'd never see him again. Thankfully, I was wrong!  Junior Participant10 Anonymous: we live on 40 acres of land in the country, but they still go missing. just 2 weeks ago our 3 yr. old fixed female siamese never came home. they go out in the morning and i always get them in at nite....oh well..my baby is gone....i would rather find her dead than the misery of not knowing.........
