That way you are in control, the moggies will probably be streetwise anyway whereas pedigrees usually arnt. Dont know how old the mogs are but they may not re-adapt to indoor life anyway but it would it would be brillo if they did.

As for ventilation I have one of them there ceiling fan lights in the lounge which are excellent in summer, or you could get window stoppers that only allow your windows to open so far.

Hope this helps C.x.

ps forgot to add, you can have your garden catproofed, but can be pricey )))))
