Cats are not meant to ‘stay inside’...just like you or a dog isn’t meant to do. Not long ago, in my fathers generation and before...people never let cats in the house..it was taboo and unacceptable.. It’s only in these last couple generations where people expect perfect pristine maniicured lawns with no tolerance of nature (excpet for the disease carryin g birds which these idiots feed). It’s the old man “get off my lawn’ syndrome that spreads in shallow people.

You weren’t meant to eat with a fork. So?
Keep your cat in your house for safety. Enjoy your animal. It’s your pet. For safety and the consideration of your neighbors who OWN their property and have the right to keep it however they want, keep your cat inside. Personally, I think that anyone who lets a cat out to roam as they want and poo in my kid’s sandbox is a selfish, lazy person who doesn’t want to deal with a litter box.
