Can I ask a slightly different question ?

Our kitten/cat is about 5 months old. He loves going outside at night, but doesn't want to go out in the daylight - he just sits on the doorstep looking. Is this normal ?

Cats are more mobile during the night. Is he neutured?

Cats are so active at night because they are a relative of big cats that includes the bobcat and the puma. Just like her wild counterpart, your cat will be active late at night and early in the a.m.

my bengal tom is just six months old and I wondt be letting him out hes gaging for it, I think if he got a wif of a female he would run miles.

He is due for his opp in two weeks so after then he can go into the garden for short times

Well done, although letting a Bengal roam free he could be a target for theives.

can i suggest when letting cats out for the first time please put a body harness with a length of washing line rope on them as being so quick and nimble they can in a flash be over the fence if startled.

You can train them to walk on a lead you know?

They're very different from other cats (as I'm sure you've found out ).......we get a few odd looks but more often than not people stop and remark how beautiful he is.

We have a business park close to here that fronts onto woodland and we pop him in the car and take him there in the evenings; no traffic, no people, plenty of wildlife and bushes for him to sniff and chase.

Our boy who is about 3 wants the back door open all day.....he doesn't really want to go out, just sit by the top step watching the birds.
He has a hatch to under the floor and out through a hole in the wall, so he can come and go as he pleases. If I shove him out to close the door, he is back in the kitchen within a minute wanting the door open again.
