Good.

Australian with three cats here - they're all indoor and happy about it because i'm not a shitarse pet owner. An outdoor cat in Australia is ecological genocide

From the cats perspective I think it's quite uncontroversial to say they'd be happier roaming free.

EDIT: I'd really love to hear the argument for why a cat actually prefers to live its enitire life indoors, despite this being something we've only done to them for the past few decades or so.

I mean even if they would rather be outside, they live longer inside, they are healthier and they would have better deads
