I’m so with you. It’s my cat decision to stay inside. He’s a rescue cat and his first 5-6 years are unknown to me but he avoids open doors to the outside. Zero interest in the big bad world of urban terror. There’s cars, there’s dogs, there’s eagle s and kids. He is terrified of kids. He certainly seems to thrive indoors. He’s 16 -17 years old now and wouldn’t be able to fend for himself out there. Besides there’s snow and cold right now.
Nope I think it is in cats best interest to stay inside
