My neighbors have cats who are allowed outdoors on loooong leashes in the nice weather, and they check on them frequently. One of my neighbors walks her cats on a leash occasionally. The cat next door got out and when they found him he was stuck in a thicet of weeds and dead brances. It took some doing to untangle him. If a fox, or a coyote or owl had found him before his humans did it would have been a tragedy.

I'm not prepard to say that no cat should ever feel fresh air on his face--but for safety's sake, I think it should be extremely supervised.
