I live in a city and letting my cats outside is not feasible. They are also perfectly happy indoors and I doubt that street cats live better lives.

  >I doubt that street cats live better lives. I don't talk about street-cats, i talk about cats who can come and go as they wish.

    Given how many of those get scars from fighting or disappear I'm not very convinced those are happier either. Dogs chained to a flat - sure, that'd be clearly not great for them but cats seem very comfortable being indoors only.

      WOW you have a pretty twisted mind about cats...had 4 cat and non of them had scars..well one of them had scars but it was a Norwegian forestcat who got in fights with fox's...and dog's and my shoe laces....but hey i hope you never have kids. BTW: Now i have a Dog and he can come a go as he wish...podengo mix...so half dog half cat.

  Yeah I have friends that work in shelters and cat sanctuaries and given the unhealthy state of the cats that come in to them, it's pretty crystal clear that life outside is not at all that good for a cat. When I walk about my 'hood I do see pet cats enjoying a time being outside, but it does not take much bad luck for their fortunes to turn rapidly, due to getting lost and deadly encounters with cars and coyotes.
