you'd need a very special backyard to fence a cat in

My dad actually did this with their patio. It's fenced in with a 2.5m high net. Of course, this assumes the cat in question is docile enough to not want to climb it, which their current cat happens to be.

The whole reason for the fenced patio is because of their previous cat, which became blind at old age. So she could then still safely explore the outdoors.

You can do this, true. However, this obviously isn't true for this post because it implies it's normal for the other cats to bring in dead animals, which probably wouldn't happen in a screened in patio.
