I have no idea what an "urban garden" is...but that aside...
GUEST 05:56 PM does have some valid points... cat's will hunt, but quite frankly, when they GUT the local population of ally vermin like squirrles, mice, pidgeons, and the like, I have to admit, I don't really care...
The fact that even a front-declawed cat is a near perfect hunter is yet another reason to keep them indoors...
