Thanks for all your thoughts, it's been very interesting reading them.
I think it is very much a personal choice allied with your own individual circumstances, location, type of cat, etc. Truth be told my two spend most of the night asleep indoors, especially at this time of year, but I know they tend to get up around 5 or 6 am and go out for a wander.
I guess I was just a bit taken aback that a charity that seems (from their website) desperate to rehome cats, would turn me down on this point alone, especially as they haven't even had the benefit of seeing where I live, or indeed meeting me and my two happy moggies!
Oh well, back to the RSPCA (who have happily let me adopt 3 cats) - was going to go there anyway, it's just that I saw a kitten on this charitys website that I thought I could give a loving home to.
