Six years ago one of my cats got run over outside my house. I live in a reasonably quiet through road. The other two cats i've had for the last six years are fine, rarely go out of the garden, but do occassionally cross the road. I do not let them out unless I'm home either.
I'm looking for a new house at the moment and my choice depends on their safety. I've been advised if I move to a very quiet road my cats might become complacent and become lazy when crossing roads as they will not be used to traffic.
Other friends insist their cats long term survival an the roads is down to them living near a busy road, and it keeps them on their toes / away from the roads due to fright.
Whats the general opinion from you guys?
Quiet, Busy or inbetween:?: :?:
