If people kept them indoors, it’d be perfect. They’d keep your house free of pests and billions of animals don’t get slaughtered for the fun of it (that’s the only reason house cats even hunt, just because they’re psychos).

I keep mine indoors. Indoor cats have three times the life expectancy of outdoor cats. Keep in mind, there are plenty of things in the wild that kill cats as well. Although ironically, the longest lived cat I ever personally knew of was a strictly outdoor cat that lived to be over 20. Belonged to my best friend; his mom refused to ever let it in the house. Gnarliest old tomcat ever.
