"out to play in the road"
Who actually sends them out to play in the road, I don't know what you think most people do with their cats, but you are trying to stir up trouble here by implying cat owners that let their cats free roam are taking them to the side of the road and throwing a ball out in front of a car for them to chase.
Mine go in my back garden and from time to time might venture over the wall.
Cats lern more at a younger age than they do when they are older, that is why one teaches a cat not to scratch furniture when they are little, and not leaving it till they are older.
And no I would not let a 12 month old child to "play in the road" or to play outside un-supervised at all. But the OP asked about cats not children... So whats your point?
You see, if its that you treat your cats like children, then let me ask you this? How do you get your cats to sit still in the shopping trollys when you do your weekly shop? And do you have a baby car seat or a booster?
I mean, your not suggesting you leave a kitten at home by himself are you? Would you do that with a child?
