Exceptions to every 'rule', of course.
Our first cat had been semi-feral, but we took him in, got him used to us (and neutered), six months later, adopted a female who had lived her life in an apartment.
It was fascinating, watching the two cats go outside. He would take her around and show her how to hunt. After an hour, he would bring her back and go do some serious hunting.
Currently, none of our cats 'free range', as coyotes frequent the area. I built a 16' run across the end of the porch. The cats have a flap in a window panel which gives them access to the run. The two "J Boys" (Jake and Jasper) seem to be the killers. Any mouse stupid enough to get into the run tends to get eaten then chucked up in the porch.
Oh well.
