Is it too soon to let my adopted cat outside after 4 days?

Question

Hi. So we adopted a 4 year old cat 4 days ago, and he loves us and he is very friendly and very comfortable in the house. He wans to go outside, but we wonders if it is to early? We read that we should wait 2-4 weeks but he is very comfortable her :). Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Male | 13.22 lbs

Congrats on your new cat! I would wait another couple of days, then take Pus out in the garden supervised. Let him sniff around and check out the sights and smells of his new home, but don't leave him alone. After about 15 minutes outside, I would bring him back in. You can do that a couple of times a day for a week or two so he gets used to his new home, and has familiar scents that will help him find his way back home. After that, you can let him outside unsupervised :-)
