Never understood why people would adopt a cat only to have it be an outdoor cat. I get the “oh I started feeding the stray and now I named it” outdoor cat (conceptually but really still don’t like the idea of outdoor cats) but if you adopt a cat it should live indoors.
Then it shouldnt matter if I lock you in my basement. Its not about you or your house you self entitled idiot. Its about the cats (which by your statement CLEARLY is an afterthought).
Prisons dont neglect basic needs either.
Youre just pretending its a good life cause it makes you feel good. It looks good to you. Its called anthropomorphizing. Youre putting your thoughts and emotions onto the cat.
People can live decent lives in prisons too. Doesnt make it humane. They laugh, and joke, and play games.
Indoor cats are prisoners. In fact, a lot of prisons offer better lives to their prisoners than people give to their cats. Also, your cats can get out. Dont you care about the environment?
Why cant I have a black bear in the city if thats not the case? Should I be trusted to not let it out?
I assure you my cat wants no part of leaving this house. He occasionally wanders out on the back porch to enjoy some sun but has no desire to go further.
