We have had a very long discussion on this before. I am in total agreement with you that inside is the best place. But I am lucky, and hope to remain so. Mine come in and out as they wish, but are inside much more often than outside. Neither of them would make very good indoor only pets. But if I started them as kittens, I would definitely work to have them be indoor only. Mine stay right around my yard and we live in a neighborhood with low traffic and no stray dogs, so I feel much better, allowing them to go outdoors.
