I let my cat out at 6months after he had his injections and been neutered.

He LOVES going outside but is also a very homely cat too, so I can always keep a tab on him - more so now since he got in a fight with another cat and ended up with a nasty abcess. There are a lot of risks when you let your cats out, that is a personal choice you have to make, I can fully understand people not wanting to take that risk and keeping their cats indoors but i know that jinsk would hate it if i kept him in all the time now after being allowed out for so long. I just have to be as an owner, responsible and vigilant to make sure he is ok. I can definetley see both sides of the coin
