I recently moved to an urban area in the UK from a rural location in the US, bringing my two-year-old cat with me. He was accustomed to roaming the countryside on my 10 acres back home, but here I've had to keep him in the house all day because I'm concerned that the area is not suitable to let a cat roam. As a consequence he's gained a considerable amount of weight and seems quite bored (less frisky, anyway), and I'm considering allowing him to go outside if he wants. The trouble is I'm quite nervouse about this because the area where I live is busy. It's near the university so there is a lot of student traffic, noise, cars, and people. This is all very foreign to him. On the upside there is a large public park very close to my house. But he tends to be very person-friendly so I'm concerned that he will gravitate toward people, some of whom may not be as friendly as he thinks--a lot of drunk college students around. Anyway, this is the situation. Advice?
