I made the mistake many years ago of introducing my skeerdy-cat to the outside. She wasn't too into it but I took her onto the porch and she explored around, and then later she went down the steps, and then into the yard. Which I always wanted to do supervised, but then she or maybe some numbnuts roommate punched a hole in the screen and she was able to get out by herself. I found her chasing a butterfly and I was like, "This is my fault, she never would have done this if I hadn't gotten her used to the outdoors!"
Sorry to hear that. Hopefully it was "No harm, no foul". If a cat has always been indoors they may never want to go out. Taking a house cat outdoors does have risks and we always encourage caution, training and TREATS!

What's the best way to encourage them to come outdoors?
TREATS! Of course.
