Living inside isn’t so bad when we can have devoted servants who happily will make sure we have plenty of food and water. They tend to pet us when and where we want to be petted and play with us if we want that too. I can say when having a devoted servant who is also competent does make living inside so much better.
But when humans just don’t get it and are too selfish to understand our needs, it’s terrible. It’s the reason why many cats tend to leave and find another home. It’s the reasonable thing to do.
