Indoor cats tend to live longer than their outdoor counterparts, typically reaching 10 to 15 years of age. Cats who spend their lives exclusively outdoors live an average of just 2 to 5 years.
I have three cats and I can't even imagine them being allowed outside.
But I guess the outdoor cats probably live much happier and more stimulated lives for the most part.

Cats can be perfectly happy outside on leashes. We spend so much time outside in the summer I'd feel bad leaving her locked inside. But I can't support letting them free-range. Lucy keeps our yard mouse free, and snacks on the moths that eat our veggies.
