Do you let your cats out at night?

We've finally got a cat flap fitted for the cats we adopted a couple of months ago. We now can't decide if we should leave it open all night so they can come and go as they want to.

I'm pretty sure the fluffy cat (see profile for photo) will stay at home as he lurves us won't risk going too far away from his food source, but our white one likes to hang out with the other cats in the area and I'm not sure if he will come home at night. I'm worried something might happen to him. So... do you let your cats out at night? Am I being PFCBlush?

I'm not as bad as I was when we first moved here. I'd've worried all night if I'd left one out then. We even used to walk up to the top of the road if they didn't come in, in case they'd been run over.

But then, I didn't have dcs then. Grin

My cat fights like topless models in the BBhouse, day and night. Tried to keep him in but he throws himself against bedroom doors, sucks loudly on his claws then snores and heavy breathes when intermittently asleep. Oh and chases his Kong around the house, crashing into anything and everything.
We can stand it no longer so we let him go in and out which stops him from bothering us.

It depends on the weather, if it is warm then my bedroom window is open and she goes out a bit, but spends most of her time on the bed.
