If your cat tends to freeze when startled keep it indoors. I just nearly ran over a cute black cat (wearing a collar) at 2nd and Dennison. A taxi honked, it ran in the street right in front of my car and then decided to freeze. Probably very bad juju to hit a black cat...

My parents just recently moved from the suburbs to Victorian Village and are debating letting their cats (who were always outdoor cats) outside but are unsure. Any cat owners have any advice/experience with outdoor cats near busy streets in the neighborhood such as Neil, Buttles, etc.?
Thanksi am probably a block from where they're living, and have been here 5 or 6 years. in that time i've gotten to know a handful of the "actually owned" outdoor cats in the hood. a few on them have collars, so i've even learned a few of their names. thomas i've known for years now, and he hangs out on my patio when i'm outside reading (pissing off my indoor cats to no end!) also, i don't see a lot of roadkill cats on buttles, so that s a good sign. as a head's up there are a lot of possum, raccoon and other cats to fight with/be attacked by, but, again, thomas is still around, and i'm pretty sure there's not THAT much critter on critter violence on the block . . .
on the other hand, i personally could never have an outside cat, especially 'round here.
but if they're good with it, it's not uncommon . . .I used to live around Neil & Buttles and have hung out with Thomas before, too. He's a nice cat.
I think it would depend on the cat if I would let one outside in that area or not. A calm cat that just wants to walk around and check things out, I would let roam. I never saw any dead cats in the road around there.

Too much traffic. I had an ex get a very dead cat by letting it be an outdoors cat in vic vil. Animals just don't understand roads as well as they should.
