Your cat has more control over you? Who is whose owner there? People who let their cats roam are entitled and irresponsible.
I had a beagle who always wanted out and roam. But my pet doesn’t make the rules so I kept him inside
Cats do whatever they want. Get one and you'll know.
They do what you allow
Yeah, no. Cats are black hats. They'll keep looking for exploits.
First, I have two.
Second, why should anyone listen to you when you admit that any cat can outsmart you? Lol
I used to work at an animal shelter. I must have met thousands of cats in my time there. I never met a single cat that didn't get used to being inside 24/7. They could be sitting just feet away from a door leading straight outside, and they would not try to escape.
If your home is so hostile to cats that they're desperate to escape no matter what you do, you should probably not have a cat.
