It is great you are thinking of Ketty's safety at night! I agree, that being out at night is typically not necessary and can lead to fight wounds, etc. Unfortunately you will probably not be able to have him WANT to stay in at night. Usually the best thing to do is feed him dinner and keep him in after, even if he wants to go out. I hope this helps!
