Question A tiger at heart

I have a black n white moggy called Snoopy the problem I seem to be having is she has no fear of anything. Nothing scares her, dog's bigger cats, the hoover even foxes, This is going to sound like a terrible question but i need to ask it, how can i get her to be more cautious?
She is 11 months old and im worried that her fearlessness is going to get her killed! It was only last week that i had to tell another cat owner that her baby had been attacked n killed by a fox and i would hate to hear the same thing.
She is spayed and pretty much does what she wants, After 10 at night both cats are in as i am worried about foxes especially now, but during the day a window is open so they can come and go as they want.
Also the other dilema is if i make her cautious will her character change?
Does anyone have any suggestions?

Re: A tiger at heart

Hmmm, not sure how you'd deal with that to be honest. Cats do what they want pretty much. All mine are house cats, though I do have a run in the back for them, when the weather is nice and the yard is cat proofed. You could make a run or make your garden cat proof, so they can still go oit, but go no further than your garden.

Re: A tiger at heart

I had a cat who was fearless she was mental!! I cant suggest anything to make them more cautious other than what selk67u2 has said and cat proof your garden. Although the chances are she will get shocked by something at some point and get a little more cautious anyway.

Re: A tiger at heart

yeh that is why cats have 9 lives! something will spook her as said above and she wont be so cocky, however if it was possible I'd try and keep her as a house cat and build a run..

I wouldn't rest with my cat out, too many foxes around these days!

Re: A tiger at heart

i agree with the above to id cat proof your garden to keep her safe - mine our house cats - i wouldnt let any of mine wander the streets - too many dangers.....
