wow, what a spiteful, judgemental message. people always beat their children to discipline, so should we keep that relic from the past even though we know better? a cat indoors is not miserable; rather you lack creativity to get it the stimulus it needs in a way that doesn't thrust the problems of an outdoor cat onto your local community. outdoor cats are for people who like the idea of having a pet, but don't want all the responsibility to take care of it and instead relies on the local environment to provide it with all of its needs. you force non-cat owners to subsidize outdoor cat ownership. y'all are a draw on our society holding onto this idea cats need to be outdoors b/c you have a naive view of what is "natural". you think your cat is being in nature, but it's more akin to a state-sponsored killer. you think wild animals get the benefit of having a guaranteed source of food, shelter, and disease prevention?
