I have had my male kitten since he was seven weeks old. Before that, he was an indoor/outdoor cat in the country. He is now almost 5, & has solely been an indoor cat ever since. In my old 3rd-floor apartment I would occasionally take him on my balcony when I was with him, but then I moved to a house, still in the city, & he was never allowed out due to the dangers of being run over. Now I live in the country & would love to let him out on occasion to explore. What is the best way to go about this without worrying he will run off & get eaten my a coyote or bobcat (yes both have been spotted very near my house) or farm dog or get into a fight with a fox or raccoon or barn cat?!
