When we got our cats from a breeder 15+ years ago we had to sign a contract that included a number of restrictions including that they'd be kept indoors - which we were actually fine with when we lived in city (they are utterly gorgeous pedigree Burmese). We moved to a house with a fairly large garden in the country about 3 years ago and we gradually let them out - initially on leads, then supervised and now the one remaining one will go out occasionally when it is warm for a 'hunt' (he has never caught anything other than spiders and even then he doesn't know what to do with them) or to clamber along the walls and have a sleep in the sun.
