    Never seen any cat that chose to stay inside even 50% of the time when given a choice. I’d rather they enjoy their life than make me feel better be cause they’re penned up all the time.

      My cats come and go as they please, one spends about 90% of her time indoors, the other mostly nights, but is gone during daytime. I usually see her when I walk my dog, she’ll creep up from behind a bush and finish the walk with us, come in for a snack and then be gone again.

      we have an indoor cat. I was worried about it so started taking it outside. It would sprint back inside.

      So then I took it out and closed the door. It clawed at the door.

      I picked her up and moved her off the deck. She bolted under the deck and I had to take up one of the boards to get her out and she ran back inside faster than ever.

      Far better to die young under a car tire, bleeding out slowly and painfully alone on the asphalt. Totally agree, way better than living your entire lifespan.

        … in a gilded prison, never really have lived a single day in their entire lives.

        Yeah, I’d take my chances with the tire.
