The average outdoor cat has a two year lifespan. The average indoor cat has a roughly 11 year life span.
That should be enough to keep your cat inside.
I used to be one of those people who thought that keeping a cat inside was cruel and unusual punishment. Not so. But there are a lot of people who have trouble accepting that.
We have four cats. All indoor but we do take our handicapped cat outside with us. She needs constant supervision as she doesn't have back feet but, on the other hand, she can't run away so its easy to keep her close. But she catches mice.
Cats don't dig up gardens or make a lot of noise so I don't see what the problem is.
The primary complaint of neighburs is that cats dig up flower beds, gardens and take their dumps there.
