inside/outside cats.

No trying to troll or wind anyone up.
My 'opinion' is, everyone/thing needs a bit of company/interaction with
their own species, to be stimulated and healthy. In Uk there are cat
communities not consisting purely of feral cats, house cats that meet up at
night to play and do cat stuff, my male seems to hold court in the yard at
least once a week, they will be over the road one night, all over next doors
shed the other, they seem to meet, to socialise, sniff the cat nip, chase
the queens (mine's both neutered) The male will come home smelly and tired
then sleep all day.
Mr's T just sits up inside on a high window ( I have rigged her a vantage
point out of card board and tape) she sits peeping at the fuss below. They
live in colonies, they might grace us with company and accept some grub, but
they "become alive" with the gang, in the dark, and have a ball from what I
hear! Then they come back to sanctuary, a feed, a wash, a kip, then go do it
all again the next night.

That's the UK, no rabies or real predators as such, a few foxes no big cats
or packs of un fed dogs, the hunters dogs will rip up any small animal, but
that's in the countryside and people tend to lock down everything on hunt
days. Some cats have FIV, but mine and all sensible folk, have all the
injections money can buy and a chip to say where they belong. Most cats are
worth no money, most are street moggies, so don't get stolen for resale. The
posh breeds are kept indoors. Oh we don't de claw as most cat's live 1/2 and
1/2 inside outside, they obviously need to defend themselves, so we
encourage them to keep the claws very sharp by providing scratching posts
mats (manicure)

I can see why people keep the cat indoors, if there are Mountain lion or
Alligator around to eat her.
Here they are none.
