our 9 month old kitten has now had all her jabs and has recovered well from her neutering. she could, in theory go out and about now. we have fields to the back of us and fields to the front but the road is busy at times even though we live in a small village. people use it as a cut through to the A11, grrrr!
we have already had one cat who has been run down twice could not face kitten getting hurt, she is my baby! has kept me sane since we had to return our precious pony. Help?!

We have the same problem, luckily our cats seem to have learnt to stay away from the road but you could try and keep her in at night, at least then if she goes near the road people will see her.

My cats are all house cats for this or other reasons, I have had cats for over 25 years and all have been kept in. It does require more effort as you can imagine, but as they have never known anything else they do not suffer as a result and are all happy and healthy - my vet always comments on how well and fit and healthy they all are whenever we go for their annual jabs.
We made them a run for in the garden and they get some supervised time out there with us when the weather is good. All in all, I know that they are safe and well and not in danger, so I don't mind the extra work at all. Might be worth a thought, plus there are methods of cat proofing your garden so they can't get out of that area. Have a look at Your Cat magazine or Cat World magazine for help and advice on this type of thing as there are a few different ways to do it. Hope this helps a bit.
