It’s not compulsory to keep your cat indoors, but it’s a good idea, especially at night.
Cats tend to roam when outdoors. Keeping your cat inside keeps them safe, prevents harm to wildlife, and reduces problems with your neighbours.
Remember, you are responsible for any damage your cat does to someone else’s property.
You can also be fined if your cat enters a wildlife protection area, or goes within 10 metres of a public place where food is prepared or eaten.
