We have a fenced back yard but I always stay with him. In fact, he won't stay by himself
He's such a momma's boy. I am so afraid of hawks. I know someone on here had one taken by a hawk out of their back yard and a friend of mine in Vegas had hers taken also. When we lived in town with a fenced yard I thought it was safe....until I saw two hawks flying around in the neighborhood. One even landed in my tree in the back yard. Better to be safe.
