Had a cat that was afraid to go out of doors?

I'd suggest making an enclosure they can get into, and feel like Things Won't Eat Them.

In my experience, indoor-only cats pick up fewer fleas, and get killed by fewer things...

I don't really have a space where I can do that, alas.

Chickenwire the whole backyard! O:D

...no?

Oh, my condo association would be just thrilled, I'm sure.

The way the backyards are set up, the landscape guys have to be able to push the mower across everyone's back yard in order to reach everyone's back yard.

But mostly, that's not the sort of outdoor improvement they're going to approve of.

Ahhhh, condo association! Yeahhhh, that does put a kibosh on a lot of options.
