Don't do that either, actually. They're fuzzy little serial killers, and you'd be setting yourself up for heartbreak when it gets hit by a car or grabbed by a fox or something.
Maybe if you're getting a fancy posh breed. All three of my cats are from the street and have scared off foxes, dogs and assorted vermin and they're good enough at hiding from bigger threats. They form a clan of sorts and I've seen them working together to establish sovereignty over feral toms trying to get too close to them (they're all neutered females).
According to my vet, 99% of cats ran over are either males in heat (you know what hormones do to your brain) or sick individuals. Cats can plan for traffic and will see and hear incoming vehicles.
I've left them for up to 10 days on their own with a food and water dispenser and it's been OK every time, and the oldest is turning 9 sometime this year.
Agreed. Cats superior all other pets inferior.
We have chicken hawks here. Yea chickenhawks.

We have bald eagles that nest near the less developed areas of town. Many years ago, my first proper carpentry job was a new house going in of these areas, and one of the trees we felled had an old eagle nest in it. Among the detritus were three old faded cat collars.

What do you call three old faded cat collars in an Eagles nest? A good start!
Back OT, I don't like the breed but it's all on the owner. It sounds like training and socialization right away is the best prescription for this breed. But at the end of the day, I hope you're spending serious time, right now, consulting with a dog professional that understands this breed rather than relying on a miniatures forum for advice.

The house I used to live had its back against the wheat fields where you could find not just the common sparrowhawks and peregrine falcons, but also golden eagle and bonelli eagle. I actually had a kestrel nest in my house.
Cats are just not appetizing unless you have really bad winters.
