I googled the question about whether I should let my cat out at night and this site came up. I am so pleased it did as the message is loud and clear and I know I am doing the right thing! My cat came to me from NAWT 4 weeks ago and settled in beautifully. She seemed keen to go out quite early (I live indented property with no cat flap options) but I followed guidelines and kept her in for 3 weeks then let her out hungry for short intervals. At first she roamed along fences and into other gardens and even on my garage roof! But now she just does a circuit of the garden then wants back in. I was never keen to let her out at night but since she doesn't go out much during the day and sleeps most if the time, I worry that I am denying her her hunting time. Do you still think I am right to keep her in? should I be more tough during the day and leave her out there for a couple of hours? She has a cat carrier under a bush invade it rains. thanks for you help, sorry for the essay!!!!!
