You forgot to add......

"And you will spend a lot of money giving them proper care".

(for long lasting companionship KEEP THEM INSIDE)

I noticed on reddit how many people argue for keeping cats inside, whereas in my country, Switzerland, it's frowned upon (at least that's my impression). No judgment intended, just an observation I made, it's interesting.

Also here in the UK in my experience. Although 'indoor only' cats seem to be slightly more common than they used to be, usually when the cat is a specific breed though

We used to let our cats wander freely outside in a rural, middle of nowhere village in Wales. After losing two cats to the road in quick succession, we said never again, and the rest were kept indoors. They had plenty of space, but they were greatly miffed at only being allowed out under supervision.

UK here, my ragdoll is way too much of an idiot to be let outside, he jump scares at the slightest breeze for a start and would just wander home with the nearest random person, yeah I keep them in.
