This has proved to be the perfect solution and I would highly recommend to anyone thinking of having a cat and want to keep them safe. I just hope my moggy will eventually be content to stay within the garden and house.

This is EXACTLY what I mean about risk assessing, taking into account your own emotions and also taking into account the individual cat.
I would always try to cat proof a garden rather than set up an out door run (which usually are quite small) if I possibly could. Again circumstances determine choice here.
