Many cats are perfectly suited to be indoor cats, it really does depend.
Anecdotal: I have a feral rescue who they told me couldn’t be rehabilitated into an indoor cat, but after a month of being exclusively indoors (unintentionally, I had to move out of my house for mold treatment), his anxiety was almost completely gone and he started being friendly and affectionate to everyone who gave him attention.
If your cat doesn’t like the indoors. Too bad.
Imagine if dog owners just opened their doors and let their dogs roam? It would be a nightmare. Not to mention the destruction your cats cause neighbors
I was a kid in the '70s and there were generally no leash laws for dogs, so some people would just let their dogs roam around loose. They would form packs and sometimes be very aggressive towards people and you would get bitten from time to time. It wasn’t like you had to run from place to place to survive or anything like that, but it was certainly a problem that is basically nonexistent these days.
