Sorry for your kitty losses

You can put kitties outside & keep them safe. My friend puts her cat on a zip line in her back yard. He loves it! He'll stay out there all day in the summer romping around & playing with plants.

My sister takes her oldest cat out for walks on a collar/leash during the summer.

A lady back home took her cat for walks on a string.

Another lady also put her cats on Zip lines.

My cat is harness trained & leash trained. She'll be going for outdoor romps this summer.

I'm a firm believer that dogies & kitties shouldn't be running free, its too risky. They are family, not wild animals, IMO
