Cat's shouldn't be allowed outside because of the diseases out there, too many bad things could happen, and they kill wildlife. If your cat hasn't had it shots then it definately shouldn't be allowed out. I am assuming it is not fixed since it doesn't have its shots so it is contributing to over population of strays. Be a responsible pet owner and keep your cat indoors. It will be better for your cat and the environment.

My husband and I have two cats a kitty and a almost 3 year old that go outside we have an almost 4 year old one but he stays in side anyways we make them come in at night and not go outside. I don't want them to get hurt or anything so I think you should make your cat come in at night for his health reason. Especially if you fear he'll get hurt or lost so it doesn't keep you up at night.

Make sure he is wearing a collar of some type so that anyone who sees him will know he belongs to someone - this can save his life. You MUST get him his shots and neutered. That's a must. Only if he still has all of his claws should you allow him outdoors at anytime. If you've had him several months, he won't get lost as long as he knows where to get food from you. Good Luck!

Get him his shots and leave him outside. He isn't going to get lost. He will probably get banged up in a fight or two. Don't leave a window open. I did that until mine started to bring his little "treats" in the house. By the way, I hope he is neutered.

Cats travel by nature but come back to where they are fed . Mine is out 24 / 7 , but you should get his shots if you are concerned .
And yes, getting hit by cars is just a fact of nature for cats in modern countries .

I don't recommend letting your cat outside at all, especially if is doesn't have it's shots. Everytime you let your cat outside you are letting him participate in a game of survivor. I let my cat experience the outdoors with a harness and a leash. To you it may sound ridiculous but to me it's reassuring. I always wonder who's cat that is on the side of the road.

I think if you will train your cat to expect his dinner at dusk every day he will come in for that and then you can keep him in for the night. Let him out after breakfast and then feed again for dinner.
Cats, of course, are never completely safe outside and the nightime is much more dangerous than daytime.

Cars, dogs, predators, people, poison, birds of prey......these would top the list for reasons to keep your cat inside. On top of these are risk of exposure to Rabies, Feline Leukemia, Feline AIDS, FIP, Bartonella, Distemper.......all bad scenarios. You're the person, the adult, the one in control. Keep the cat in.

LEAVE A WINDOW OR GARAGE DOOR OPEN SO HE MAY COME IN BUT IF HE IS AN IN OUT CAT HE KNOWS WHERE THE FOOD IS HE WILL COME HOME JUST REMEMBER YOU WILL PROBABLY FEEL AWFUL IF SOMETHING HAPPENED TO HIM WHY HASN'T HE HAD HIS SHOTS? HE ALSO NEEDS TO HAVE FELINE LEUKEMIA SHOT AS WELL THAT RUNS RAMP-ID IN CATS SOUNDS TO ME YOU DON'T CARE ENOUGH TO EVEN OWN AN ANIMAL
WOULD YOU LET YOUR CHILD GO WITHOUT THEIR VACCINES
