i have three cats and a small jack russell puppy. we are looking to relocate. there is a duplex that we are looking at.... we like it very much. my concern is the backyard. they have got it all fixed up fancy with curvy sidewalk, rocks & bark.. there is no grass back there. its completely fenced, however.. this is a bit weird but our backyard is against another house (they also own it) so only on the sides is wooded fences thats about 6 foot tall. i know my cats love to be outside but i am worried about them jumping over the fences and going into the streets, i would be very sad if they got hit by a car and died. they have been indoor cats for most of their lives however... when we moved back home to help with my mom who has MS-- she lives out in the country and we let our cats roam outside, they were fine... and now we re moving in, i know they love to be outside, i'd hate to force them back inside.. but if thats the best option for their safety then i'd do it.. what do you think????
