Even though cats started out as an outdoor animal, today they have a much longer and healthier life when kept inside. When allowed to roam, they suffer from " attacks " from cars, dogs, other animals, kids teasing them, ect. So inside is the place to be. Before the takeover of cars, when a cat was outside, the world was not as dangerous a place for them. When my grandson and daughter moved in with me, he let my cat our and he was run over and killed. So I lost my "baby" on the road.
