Yes they do. I've seen a fox go over a 5 foot chain link fence but stay away from people. People don't let there cats out to roam because of a leash law and the owls. Been some time but I've seen a fox with a cat in its mouth.

We don't have a leash law for cats just dogs..
My neighbor is always letting their cats out..
When I had cats they always stayed in the house unless they escaped..LOL

A few times other cats came close and they were growling at each other...LOL

I would be afraid that a cat could climb a screen and rip it if it wasn't declawed like an outside cat.

We use to have squirrels climb the sliding door screen and if they ripped it would come on in. You don't want a squirrel in the house.
