Hello,

I have a young cat aged 12 months hes a Tom who has been neutered he
strays from our garden every day and is gone 7 hours he has once been
found having travelled a pedestrian flyover over a Motorway he was
taken back by a neightbour.

I rang the vet about this behaviour he said to restrict his food thats
only been partly sucessful..

Hes  an exceptionally friendly cat  does anyone have any suggestions as
to what I can do to keep my Cat safe from road traffic?

Regards.

Keep him inside. Not really much else you can do if you live next to a
motorway.

If you want him to live a long healthy life, keep him indoors. For all
their many abilities, cats cannot judge very well how fast a car is
approaching them. I have buried 4 cats whose owners I could not find,
all killed on a 25 MPH parkway. it's very, very sad to see a dead cat by
the side of the road, and thinking of the cats' people missing them.

Please keep your cat indoors, and alive.

It's very difficult for cats who have been outside to adapt to an indoor life.
I would take a look at catproof fencing options. These links give the idea,
but you can buy kits.
