it has nothing to do with opinion. it is just fact.
I don't know why you think its a fact when there are statistics everywhere backing up that indoor only cats live longer.

Its no one's opinion that indoor only cats have longer lifespans, there have been studies to prove it true. Of course there will be exceptions to the rule, there always is. As Staci said, you are lucky that your cat is one of the exceptions.
