Advantages: They can come and go as they please, unless you deem otherwise! Disadvantages: Not much use if your cat refuses to wear a collar
...I got my first kitten in May 1997. Lovely fluffy black bundle of joy, with white socks, white bib, white cheeks and large voluptuous white whiskers. At the time I lived in a three storey maisonette without a garden. Normally I would not have got a cat without a garden but the plan was to move within six months or so, to a house with a garden.
