I have two adorable kittens that are 9 months old now and have been with me since they were 5 months. We have been taking them out in our back gardens in harnesses for several months now and they absolutely LOVE to go out and explore in the fresh air.
My boyfriend and I work quite long hours and since it gets dark so early here now we cannot take them into the garden in the evenings so they only get out and about on weekends. I play with them with "Da bird" for an hour or so each evening but I worry they are so bored during the day and wish to be outside.
I know its very much "frowned upon" in the US to let cats out but its the norm in the UK. I am just so worried about them not coming home. Would they stick together when exploring? I am confident that they know our garden and its smells very well now but how far do they roam? They are so mischevious I feel awful they are cooped up but at the same time I worry what hijinks they would get into if we get a catflap for them. Any advice?
