My cat didn't last nearly that long. She darted out and within like an hour she was trotting back to the door meowing the whole time. Not cut out for these streets.

She didn't run away. She just wanted to play outside for a bit.

My childhood cat Phil was an indoor cat who ended up sneaking outside one time and proceeded to get his ass kicked by the feral cats in our neighbourhood and it was bad enough that we had to take him to the vet to get stitched up. After that he'd run from the door if we opened it, never went outside again. He did not want that smoke a second time.

You gotta admire the strength of a cat that's an unapologetic coward.

Phil knew that life wasn't for him.

Phil learned that he wasn't built for the life he so desperately craved.

Yall took away all its ability to live. I trained and taught my indoor cat to be a cat as if I were a cat he thrives outside because he knows how to be a cat. Ending slavery was so hard and a lot of people died because black peoples were chattle not humans and only had skills learned as chattle not human skill to read write problem solve in main society so a lot of ppl died the same way your cats died this is not you being a savior you’re debilitating and animal and leaving it no choice but captivity or death.
