My indoor cats (and dogs) are NOT miserable. They are all much, much happier than they would be if they were outside. I found Shiloh outside and made her 100% indoors. She was scared the first night, but since then has NEVER wanted anything to do with the outdoors.

There are a few exceptions of cats who you absolutely cannot make an indoor cat out of, yes. But most of them should be inside.

I don't want to draw this out into a 50 page argument, but I just don't want people to start saying animals are miserable indoors because that is just not true.
