I have a lovely 18 month old male cat
he currently has access only to the back garden, as he isn't big enough to jump over the fence to be able to roam
I live on a corner block next to a street that has pretty steady flow of cars
ever since I got him I cannot shake the thought of him getting out one day and being involved in an accident.
When I adopted him I had planned to keep him indoors only, but he had other plans lol
and No, I'm not prepared to confine him to a cat run as he is used to enjoying the whole back garden, and there is no option to enclose the whole yard.
any object he could jump on has already been removed from the fence line.
he's a very small cat, and I mean I've already had him 16 months and hasn't escaped yet.
am I being irrational with my fear?
I do believe cats should live a natural fun filled life, but wouldn't forgive myself if anything happened to him
I do struggle with anxiety as well.
I mean I could give him up to another family, and the same thing may happen.
what should I do?
