Outdoors has rules too. Neighbors aren't going to be happy with your cat pissing/pooping on their yard. You might as well not adopt a cat if you rather it be outside all day and only let it in your house to sleep. Just let every cat be a stray. Don't rescue them. That way they have freedom and whatever health problems or injuries they encounter is just nature taking its course. Wind blows, rain falls, and the strong prey upon the weak. You can't fight nature.

You can't fight nature, so you would instead imprison an animal and deny its nature?

This is my disconnect with fanatical pet owners. People who own hamsters, pure bred dogs who are heavily inbred and develop health conditions as a result (German Shepards and Pugs come to mind), etc. Despite people's ravings about how they love animals they would seek to domesticate and deny an animal's existence.

Your pets live as slaves their whole lives to your own human emotion. If you truly love animals, you should learn to respect the nature of an animal--and embrace the grace along with the ferocity we find in the cycle of life.
