Thinking about getting a cat. How hard is it to keep one outdoors (we have a backyard)? What else should I know about cats?

Indoors please. They’re a huge danger to themselves and to local bird life if outdoors and take very little work to keep indoors. And are pretty happy indoors too, unlike dogs. Unlike dogs they’re also hard to keep confined to backyards since they can climb.

iirc average lifespan of indoor cat is 2x that of outdoor cat!

I’m not swayed by lifespan alone, and I do buy the argument that as natural predators they’re happier outdoors under natural conditions. But urban/suburban landscapes are very unnatural and they have very poor instincts around traffic.Low-traffic countryside would be different.
