Tend to agree and disagree here. Had cats my whole life. From inside and outside. Quality of life for the cat (not by busy road or in a city) was better. However environment wise yes is a problem.

Also what's your justification that they enjoy it indoors more? If you have the opportunity create a healthy environment for both.
The argument here is that it’s worth cutting the lifespan of a cat just because they supposedly like it outdoors. Seems to undervalue their life, and combined with ecological impact it seems selfish.

You are only cutting lifespan if the area you live is not suitable for it. Take South Africa where I lived. Most people have big gardens. Or open pieces of land in general. No issue for a cat to do as it pleases.

Do with as they please, meaning kill local wildlife. I do agree that it’s safer outdoors for a cat on a farm or in a very rural area than the suburbs but it still doesn’t justify the other negative effects.

The real argument is be a responsible owner and look after and make informed decisions.
