Here in the States, outdoor cats are discourage. My brother John has a small horse farm outside of Woodstock IL in McHenry County. He has indoor cats and outdoor cats. The outdoor cats live in the horse barn. The state of Illinois considers feral outdoor cats a public nuance because they kill small mammals and birds. The county pays for the spay and neutering of feral cats to keep the population in control. The fixed cats are allowed to live in the barn as that keeps other cats from moving in.
Outdoor cats at night are a danger to themselves and other animals. Cats as pets should spend most of their time indoors. Indoor cats should live in groups as they need social contact to be healthy.
Our three cats are mostly indoor cats. Gregory lets Checker and Coal to go into the garage when he is out there. They will wander around the garage and the gardens. If outside at night the cats will come to Mike's window and howl till they get back inside.
I think "Pink" would be a great name for a cat, especially a large Tomcat.
