Yes yes, you have an opinion that you are attached to, and nothing is going to sway you. But keep your bullshit rationalizations and psychological bulwarking under your hat; the lies we tell ourselves are not convincing to others.

Maybe youll have to require me, I dont think I said anything that obtuse. I personally let my cat out because keeping her inside was for my benefit, not hers. I could understand people who have a different opinion though, its not cat abuse to keep them indoors.

My last comment was more poking fun at the concept of reading a cats emotions to this degree, but apparently I wasnt very clear about that.

stuck to a window or screen

normal cat behavior.

wishing they were outside.

projection. none of my indoor cats have ever tried to get out despite them all being avid birdwatchers.

Cats are cautious, they won't just bound outside. It takes a while to get comfortable. Either way though, I'm sure your cats are mostly happy, its not too big a deal either way.

An empathetic owner can tell whether their animal is happy or not.
