I think most people are missing how much a cat can get out of being in its natural environment, it should be intuitively obvious how important it is to them if you've lived with cats that do and don't have access to that and see how much they value being able to do cat things outside and basically have their own lives independent from their owners.
I agree. I had a cat in the countryside, then we took him to a 2 bedroom apartment. He was miserable and always tried to escape. When he did, sometimes he wouldn't come back for a day or two. Then when we moved back into a house where he could come and go, he went back to being happy.
