“Another airtight argument for indoor only cats. Doesn’t help with canines unfortunately.”

It is nothing of the sort. Folks in rural areas need cats who control the vermin population.

Some/many cats are unhappy indoors only. I do not accept the notion that whatever will probably extend a cat’s life expectancy is what is best for the cat.

Well, a secure outdoor enclosure off the house or in the yard is alright. Shorter but happier life trumps a long-lived but miserable indoor cat is easy for us to say but there is a lot more than insects in the extraordinary array of dangers they will face unattended, and most likely die a miserable death from.
