Letting a cat outdoors.?

We have our own house with a really big yard, we have had it treated to ward off fleas and ticks and it seems our indoor cat is desperate to have a taste of outdoor life, we don't want her to try escape, would she? we have a fence but it is waist high so she could jump it, I have held her whilst standing out on the porch and sat her on the chair there whilst being really close and always having the door opened in case she wants back in, she jumps from the chair starts sniffing then trying to go downstairs. She also has a harness but I want her to be able to explore slowly and not feel threatened by the fact she cant run back inside when she wants to.

She is Spayed and is little over a year old, opinions please . We open our windows when it is warm but keep the netting down so she cant jump out, she loves sitting there and smelling the wind as it blows past.
 
Its a tough call. But you'd rather her wish she were out there rather than her actually being out there lost..."without, food, water, or toilet" lol Meet the Fockers...hope you know what im talking about.
Anyways...My kitty Jasmine loves to sit in the window too and I know she THINKS she wants out but....its just so dangerous out there I find other ways to make her feel better I let her out on the porch which is closed in
 
If there is a way over, under or through a fence a cat will find it. When we moved to the country we thought; ''look at the beautiful high chain link fence. Let's let the cat out to play in the yard with the dog''

Yea right. We now have two cats and we rarely ever see them during the day. Our first cat was over the fence after three days and then she showed the new one how to do it. I have since modified the gate so they no longer have to climb over and it gives them rapid access in case something comes after them.
 
well...
my cat i did not want to be a outside cat but just if she comes to her name or a whistle then its ok.... but when she comes inside make sure there are not any cuts cause new outside cats get in fights over territory a lot!
good luck!
