For what it's worth, I have a cat that refuses to stay inside.  To the tune of
ripping through screen doors, screens on windows, ripping up carpet in front of
closed doors, etc.

She's also a serious huntress, though she seems to limit herself to chipmunks 
and 
mice in the location we're in now.

I do have to say that this thread is making me think seriously on what our
community policy ought to be on pets, and whether we ought to decide it sooner 
than
later.  (Right now we're a little too busy considering sites!)

Thanks to all who have contributed,
