Legend
Britain has few creatures that would predate cats (my cats beat up foxes, although I have heard of badgers killing over-curious cats) and the horse has bolted with respect to protecting endangered species from predation (and interbreeding with wildcats).In Britain we almost all let cats go outside. Sometimes they get killed, but they always seem a lot happier than any kept-indoors cat I've ever seen. Cats seem to really value being able to come and go as they please.
Obviously, from the cat's PoV being an outdoor cat is great (very important that it is neutered!).
