Question about giving our cat access to our yard
I’ve only had one other cat who never had any interest in going outside. We caught this kitten in a trap and brought her in and she is fantastic and super sociable. When we sit in our back porch she meows and meows because she wants to be wherever we are.
We decided to let her on the porch today and she was psyched to come out. She is sticking close to us but is venturing a little into the flower bed because of the bumblebees and butterflies.
Is it a bad idea to let her out at all? Is it all or nothing with cats as far as indoor and indoor/outdoor, will she always try to escape if she gets a taste for the wild? Or could we let her come out and spend time on the porch without creating a problem?
