22. Keep her in. She'll get used to it.

The lives of indoor/outdoor cats on the whole are so much shorter than those of only indoor cats. There are so many hazards out there: not just eagles but also hawks, coyotes, stray dogs, other cats carrying diseases, raccoons, foxes, poison put out for rats, traffic, sadistic humans who like to kill, thieves who know there's a lucrative market in "no questions asked" animals for experiments....

How is that worth the risk? Never mind the damage that cats, who are natural hunters and obligate carnivores, do to native bird species.
