my cats.

It's actually a bad idea to let cats wander outside alone as you learned with poor LULU. They can be hurt or killed by a huge number of things, dogs, people, cars, antifreeze, other cats, predatory birds, etc. or catch some very serious diseases. There's no need to let them go outside. You can provide everything they need right inside your home without risking them to the outdoors. I have 3 cats that are wonderfully happy without ever putting a paw outside.

I would just allow the cats to remain indoors. They will be healthier for it, and live longer as a result. Cats who go outside are exposed to a lot of danger, such as cars, kids, poisons, and other cats and dogs. That's why I always keep my cats in the house, and they don't seem to mind it either. They've got food, water, shelter, toys and most important, a lot of love!

yes, perhaps catch(somehow) or buy some mice and see what they do with it? if they are still young, you can hope they will treat mouses as toys + food combo, then theyll grow up as a mouse-cather.
