What about hamsters and guinea pigs?
Plenty of cats are perfectly happy to remain indoors. I have a cat who was rescued from the streets as a kitten. She actively refuses to go outside unless she is accompanied by a person, and even then, not for very long.
But even if you do want to let your cats live outdoor lives, that's no reason to just let them loose on the environment.
nah, you're just an uncreative person. you can be involved in your pets stimulation. seeing that you think having a pet inside is just confining, i feel pretty correct assuming you see pets as just an animal you hang out with and feed and not a responsibility to nourish. instead, have the outdoors do your work for you! and if they die, so be it. shows a lot of love and care :)
Yes, I wouldn't describe it as torture.
I have seen what an outdoor cat does when it gets its paws on a lizard, snake, baby bird, or mouse. That's torture.
