Unless you live next to some kinda highway a cat is plenty capable of avoiding slow driving cars. Sure, outside is a bit more dangerous than inside. That’s what makes it interesting for the cat. Keeping them inside all the time is cruel. Risk is a part of life and sometimes pets die. Just like other animals do, just like humans do. You could be hit by a car as well. So do you spend your life indoors? Of course not.
It’s the same mindset as helicopter parents. Allow your cat to be a cat.
I don’t think that’s how cats work, as they’re perfectly happy and can absolutely thrive inside which has probably also been proven. The data about cat lifespans outside vs inside does not lie, It’s not a conspiracy sadly.
And to add on to that, in my experience cats can not avoid slow driving cars with the biggest success rate. Cat doors can also be used inside, but cat doors are cute either way.
Is this the most ironic username ever or what?
