I like it a lot

An outdoor cat will go out the cat flap and do it's business well away from your and it's home.
Personally I wouldn’t keep an indoor cat but if the rescues are offering up indoor cats only you’d be doing a great thing by rehoming one.
Our cat was a rescue she’s 16 now. I won’t miss her when she’s gone. I’ll shed a tear of course at the time.
Having grown up with cats I thought I was a cat person. It turns out I’m not really and I I don’t enjoy being owned by one and formerly two that wreck the house.
On the the other hand I miss our dog so much, we lost him at 14 a couple of years ago. He was the best - dogs > cats.
And cat shit stinks...
If you don't actually pick the shit out of the tray with your teeth, the smell is minimal.
Yes, it is heavy-ish, but it's no big deal unless you live on the 42nd floor & the lifts are screwed.
Several 'outdoor' cats where I live (country village) have been killed & maimed while outside 'being free'. Sad but true.
And picking up a Dog shit on the winter makes for a great natural hand warmer
Always the optimist
Since we've had a microchip locking cat flap rather than just a manual one they bring a lot less in.
A friend of mine has taken her cat for walks on a leash since it was very young (otherwise staying indoors), and it's perfectly happy with the arrangement, though she's probably an outlier.
When we moved into our first home; with a relatively young cat and with both of us upset from losing two so quickly , we thought we'd keep her in. That lasted half a year or so....she escaped and was gone for hours. I found her three hours later in the back garden with three other kitty mates. And thought she really needs to go out as and play. My partner works from home a lot and touch wood we now live in a much quieter area. She itches to go out first thing in the morning and then comes and goes as she pleases.
We do try and get her in around 6pm. She's quite food oriented so a few bangs of the bowl and she comes back. I don't think she goes far. Luckily she is not a great hunter so we've never had a half dead bird gifted to us.
