That was our plan, but Lil was going insane with jealousy when we got
to the new neighborhood and every cat in the neighborhood came up to
the back glass door and taunted her.  My (faulty) reasoning was that
there were no coyotes or foxes around, and Lil couldn't hunt since
we'd had her since kittenhood and she hadn't been taught how to do
that.  And she only goes out during the day.

Bzzt!  For being self-taught, Lil was quite proficient.  The only good
news is that she's mostly after the mice in the ivy and baby rabbits,
neither of which is in anything like short supply.  But a coyote
presence in the area might mean she's going to spend a lot more time
indoors.
