Hiya Azz,
Shibari is an outside cat, but the decision was not made lightly. We had the same worries and fears you probably have. I think we weighed up all the pros and cons, and altho we were living in London at the time, we decided that because our house was a terraced, that he could only get access into the back gardens of our neighbours, so, there was no chance of him being run over or being seen too much in public for anyone who may like the look of him. We also waited until he was castrated.
I think the decision that really swung it was that he could die at anytime, so I wanted him to experiance nature etc.
We did at one point think about having a big run made for him in back garden, but he just seemed so desperate to go out, and because he w was our only pet at the time, I use to think he got lonely. It may have been different if we had two of them. We've been lucky that nothing has happened to him, even after our new move
