Hmm... Cats should not be allowed to do what they naturally do? Our cats have never been allowed to roam free. Too many dangers out there to the cats. But we do have a few neighbors that do let their cats out. The cats eat the mice that are in the brush along the creek that runs behind our house. I am grateful for those cats because we've never had mice in our trailers in the 25+ years we've parked trailers on our property.

Your cats perhaps. All of them are unique and not all are "fraidy cats". We've had 2 that were terrified of anything and everyone but us. Neither of them wanted anything to do with the outdoors. We had 2 that couldn't wait to get outside. One of those loved everyone he came into contact with. Our current one loves people and he seems very interested in the outdoors. If they are going to undergo any trauma, if I was you I'd leave them in the RV, or leave them home.
