House cats, finicky about food..?

Not around here! We always make sure our cats are inside at night, way too many predators, not to mention too cold in the winter.

We've lost any number of them over the years...sometimes we'll find a pile of fur in the field behind the house, usually no trace at all.
Nope, ours go out during the day but in after dark.

Our cat woke us up one night in the summer house. He was up in the pear tree outside our bedroom window, probably chased up there by a fox. The fox was "barking" at him and he screamed back. An awful racket.

What predators do you have?

The cold never seemed to keep him from going outside, though.

I hope you don't mind the chatter, Abodybomber.
