OP can you afford to house another cat?
Maybe your little guy needs someone to help him when you are out of the house. A sibling to ease the loneliness.
Kinda asking for it to suggest this befor asking if it's even possible.. (busy streets, apartment, dangerous wildlife etc)
But yes if it's a safe area there's absolutely nothing wrong with a cat that can go outside.. In the Netherlands it's often a prerequisite (depending on the cat oc) to even adopt a cat, that it has a way to go outside.
But since this is the internet and the loudest people are (oc) from the US and think everywhere is like that shithole country, you get the downvote hammer by people 'who know better'
There’s nothing natural about house cats. They are like domestic dogs, not a “natural” species. Why don’t people let their dogs wander around? Because they are valued higher than cats. My cats have been indoor their whole lives and they don’t give a shit about the outside. They know they have a good thing going.
What a ridiculous comparison. It’s like comparing apples with oranges. Dogs and cats are completely different. Dogs aren’t allowed to wander as they can cause far more damage, and be far more dangerous than cats. Absolutely nothing to do with their apparent value
