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.

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.

If your house is a gilded prison to your pets, youre a shit pet owner and you shouldnt own any animal of any kind.

Like sorry bud, you can give a small mammal a fulfilling life inside your house pretty fuckin easy. Harness training a cat is so straight forward, too, so its not even a life permanently indoors.

I get youre probably so fuckin lazy that you would prefer your pet gets its guts ripped out and dies slow in the worst pain of its life. But any normal adult capable of washing their ass can do better than you, so maybe you leave the big boy responsibilities to better people.

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.
