Ive had cats my whole life and will continue to, its not hard to rear a cat inside or have an outdoor pen to limit access. To those who argue its cruel to cage a cat who has free run outside for most of if its life, utter crap. One of mine was 4-5 years old before we decided to pen him, and he's perfectly happy, they adjust. Also better for yourself and you don't have any worry about being hit by a car etc.
