I remember thinking they were happier with their freedom, even though it meant their lives were short.
I know better now.

You can be trapped in the most luxurious palace, with your every want attended to, but you cannot leave.

Or, you can be free to go where you please, still have your wants attended to, but there is a chance you will die young and the last hour of your life will be spent in terror and excruciating pain.

Which do you choose?

Honestly a bit of a tough question. I'm not sure, myself.

Interesting concept but cats don't have the sapience to understand the risk involved with being outside. You could say the same thing about children, but because adults know better we don't let them do whatever they please.
