I want to clarify that I don't think any of us are particularly divided over the outdoor living environment, where it's what we may each individually consider to be a countryside, or a small farm, or a large bungalow household. That is not the point, at least to me.
The point remains that the option that you're referring to involves you letting your cat outside in hopes- not guarantee, but hopes- that others will shoulder the responsibility of feeding him, caring for him, and letting him live indoors when the weather is bad; that other cats will accept him and not run him off; and that he won't fall victim to the innumerable predators that we've brought up, whether they be invertebrates, mammals, humans, automobiles, weather, etc. Again, this is irresponsible. I don't know what positive word you could attach to this choice.
I was under the impression from the beginning that your cat has enjoyed your walks and that it has already become part of your routine.
