Since Jerry gets into fights when let outside I would definitely recommend keeping him as an indoor kitty. To help decrease his tendency to roam I would recommend having him neutered. You should also increase your interactions with him by doing things such as playing with a laser pointer and grooming him. If he is stimulated enough in the home he will be less likely to want to go out. I hope this helps. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. Best of luck.
