I would have to disagree with it being better for them. Most indoor cats I've met are, if not overweight, really out of shape, they suffer boredom and so many of them go a bit stir crazy. Some decide that living inside is better for them, but most really need the fresh air and exercise.
Cats kill things. It's what they do. If you don't want that, don't have a cat.


Okay, so wait. If my neighbor is an avid bird watcher and my outdoor cats completely scare off all the birds, he should just not get a cat? That doesn't make any sense regarding what FS just said.

Speaking as an 'amateur ornithologist' so as to distinguish myself from those crazy twitchers and avid bird watchers... Twitchers and bird watchers are stark raving loony! Bad example to choose. A twitcher and a bird watcher would rather conserve songbirds than raptors, because raptors naturally predate on their beloved songbirds. They totally lose their grip on reality, and frankly they're a few owls short of a parliament! It's good for those twits to learn about nature! Nature's harsh. Nature's 'unfair'. Nature is raw and unemotional, and it irritates me that those twitchers and bird watchers can't see that! No, I'm not at all pleased when a cat leaves me a dead bird, but it's not the end of the species (unless it is... in which case you can be absolutely certain my ferals would be brought inside and domesticated as soon as feasible!)

(Loony, owl and twit puns totally intentional)
