>>237089 The most "street-smart" cats I ever owned were the ones I always let out in my backyard under supervision whenever I went myself. I left food and water outside and since I did this from early on, they grew accustomed to being out in the open. The problem is - a good fence, which is necessary to protect it from dogs or getting lost, isn't going to hold a kitten back as it gets older. Your cat will get learn from experience in the relative safety of your garden (if you have one), but will very likely go out on dangerous excursions when you're not watching. The experience gained in the backyard will help it in the "real world." Since your cat is older, you'll probably need to get a leash to keep him under control. Just to get him used to being outside and prevent him from running off if he gets scared or goes after something.
Other than that, I don't really know what you can do. Cats learn these skills best when they're kittens - your kitty could remain a pure "house cat" forever. So keep him inside whenever you're not watching it and take him out on controlled (leashed) "walks" in your garden or around the home.
