Thelma and Louise don't go outside either. We've had coyotes in the neighborhood, and one of our cats disappeared a few years before we got Thelma and Louise, so I just never let them out. They don't seem to mind a bit. They love to sit in the windows and scold the birds though.
We have coyotes in our backyard, too. We back right up to a field, so we have all kinds of wildlife here.
Haven't seen any in a while, but we always keep a close eye on her while we let her outside, especially at night when they are active.
