Locking cats indoors their entire lives is cruel.

Um... I guess the rescue I got my cat from is cruel for adding a "keep the cat indoor only" clause? ๐Ÿค”

Edit: I'm not taking a position on the indoor vs outdoor argument, just saying that its not exactly "cruel" to keep a cat indoors.

I think that's a YMMV depending on the cat. One of my cats constantly begs to go outside (he gets walks), the other refuses to leave the house.
