My cat wants to go outside. I want to let him outside because I feel bad. How would I be able to make sure that he comes back home? He's been an indoor cat for his entire life of.. one year.

...it's pure luck. Some cats do come back after a while and some cats never come back.

if he wants to come back home, he will, it's actually pretty hard for cats and dogs to get lost.

Try letting him run around on a leash. Or you could build him a pen in your backyard so he can be outside, but safe.

Sounds like good advice.

Check your cat every once in awhile for injuries. My cat had a nice abscess on his side that I didn't know was there until I picked him up and got puss all over the place.

Also, cat pus REALLY STINKS.

Give him more shit to do indoors. You are the master here, don't give in and let your cat go outdoors when you clearly understand that his health will be in jeopardy. Yes, some cats do fine outside, but not all. If he's an indoor cat now you don't need to introduce that to him, because once he knows what being outside is like that's all he'll want.
