The fourth cat has never set foot outside and probably thinks the view out the window is a big TV screen. Earlier, we had two cats for 15 years who also never set foot outside.
Polly has no back feet but can still catch mice, which means she has dogs following her around when she's in hunting mode:

Cowperson, you take the best pictures!! That kitty looks so cute (your dogs are beautiful). Our kitty is terrified outside, if we sit outside in the summer for a bit, she asks to come out, but sits under my chair for 2 minutes, then cries to go inside. She just hates being left out. Has never been more than 3 feet from the front door with someone carrying her. Once we took her down to the end of the front yard and put her down. She ran up to the house next door, not realizing she wasn't at the right house and sat there and cried, because she didn't know what to do, even though I was right there talking to her and calling her from 10 feet away.
