I have a catio but, can't use it until we make the holes in the screen smaller. The birds come in and my cat is an excellent hunter unfortunately.

My vet told me years ago: I tell my clients that indoor/outdoor cats have higher vet bills and shorter lifespans. Thats the bottom line.

It SUCKS to have to keep them indoors, but if I had the $, I would build one of these amazing catios. That keeps them away from birds and safe from other cats.

You cant control where they go when they are outside with you. One of these days they will make a dash for it.

Another option are cat proof fences, but depending on your neighborhood that wont work.
