I am asking this out of genuine curiosity, but I find it odd to keep 5+ cats indoors in one house/apartment. That seems unfair to me.
The only ones that even want out are Noel and Olivia....and that's the balcony. I've tried taking Noel outside on her harness and she was terrified.

Basie, Noah and Micah HATE when I even open the front door!

It isn't cruel or odd if they've never been outside before, other than the balcony.

I can see the problems that would arise if you rescued a cat that was accustomed to being outside, but its not fair to force them out if they've been used to living a safe, happy life indoors.

Besides, if my cats where outdoors, they would be dead and/or in cat fights every day. I don't see how that could make a cat "happy" to be outside....

Life is different here...
