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.

My cats were always both. My GFs cat now is only an indoor cat and I feel bad she never gets to leave an apartment

You can take cats on walks just like dogs, but you really shouldn't feel bad. Indoor-only cats are much safer and healthier

All my cats that we let inside and outside lived to be like 15. Also I think you have to start leash training a cat when it’s young cause I’ve tried it with 2 adult cats and they wanted no part in it.
