BTW, I believe the leash laws refer to pets off one's property. However, I wouldn't let a cat of mine out even in my own back yard.

Add hawks to the list of predators looking for an easy meal.
Another vote for keeping cats inside. I would never let my cat outside (except in the birdcage which she really enjoys).

There are hawks, gators, many (sadly) feral cats, and lots of wildlife. Please keep your furry animals safe.
