My lad Hendrix definitely does NOT want to be an indoor cat, but I have mainly kept him as such.   He grew up in the country as an outdoor cat, and is now in town on a quiet street, but with a few other dogs and cats in the neighborhood and some traffic. I am about to experiment with a leash. Any thoughts on this approach. I'm figuring I can put him out on it while I'm working in the yard so he won't strangle himself.
