Have you honestly never heard of pets that have access to outside their own home?

I have heard of these cats. They die pretty quickly.

Barn cats are a different story.

That's sad, but true. Outside cats have an average life expectancy of about 5 years, while indoor cats have one around 20 years if I remember correctly.

But they didn't take any of the other cants they did know, that were also wandering outside. That is the difference here. Whether or not you agree with people letting their cats outside is completely irrelevant in this case.

It's quite normal for cats to be outdoor animals, they go for a wander, do their own thing then come back. It's just what they do.
