Cats are perfectly fine indoors and not "trapped". In fact, indoor cats live much longer on average than outdoor cats because there is much less danger (attacked by dogs, wild animals, ran over, poisoned, maimed)
Cats are not dogs, or lions for that matter. They don't have to be outside to be happy.
- leetcrew 8y agofirst of all, I don't think it's terribly inhumane to keep a cat inside. that said, averages never tell the full story. an urban environment with cars and many feral cats is a dangerous place for a pet. a rural environment that doesn't happen to have many predators is probably not that bad. also being outdoors is much more dangerous for very young and very old cats.
- adetrest 8y agoIn rural settings there are more foxes, coyotes, and hunters which are dangers to cats. They can also get stuck and die, or injured and die because they can't come back. None of that happens with indoor cats, urban or rural.
