All of my cats have always been indoor, I will never have an outdoor kitty.

in a pile of open toed shoes!
Indoors only for her majesty the princess. Although, I am considering getting her a harness/leash for when we feel like sitting in the front yard. As of right now, she shows NO interest in going out, and freaks out when I have to take her to the vet.... I think she's afraid we're gonna return her to the wild. No more manicures, no milk with breakfast, no silk comforter to sleep on, a girl's gotta maintain her style you know?

Indoor/outdoor. Bakker is limited to his outdoor time as he doesn't like to come when you call for him. Bobber is our queen hunter so she loves it outside. Grizzly rests under some tree/shrub during the day as I don't see her too much and Ox being the old man-well he needs his daily catnip fix but does spend alot of time sleeping inside. But when the weather cools down and there is snow on the ground they all have their butts parked up by the woodstove!!

Mine are indoors. I would worry too much if I let them outside.

Ginger is the same. Out with me on harness & leash occasionally, but indoor only.

Since she got out by accident over the weekend, she has been terrified to go anywhere near a door that leads to the Outside.

Mine are all indoor/outdoor but two of them rarely go outside. They just prefer to be indoors.

Mine are indoors only. If/when I have a garden they will have controlled access to a garden with catproof fencing or an outdoor enclosure.

Indoor & outdoor - but there is a definate pattern. In the winter months they all stay in the house at night time - ON MY BED !!
(all 3 of em ) As soon as summer rolls in, my two girlies are defo outdoor cats all day and all night, they mooch in and out for food etc, but they find a lovely shading spot to snooze. The boy, Big Guy Dino is just a lazy old thing
and, well cant bear to be further that 3 foot from his mum ! ME !

The indoors cats go outside on harness & leash on the deck only under my supervision 1 at a time. The garage cats go outside for playtime under my supervision(off leash). Then again, the ones in the garage are too lazy to go anywhere. They walk out the door & plunk down in the sunshine.
When you have 8 cats playing all day & night in the garage, they don't want to do anything when they actually get to go outside!

Mine all are indoor/outdoor, but they are kept a close eye on! And well Callie, I have never been able to keep her inside, only to eat and thats it! Last night she slept in all night, I was shocked. The others I always make sure they are back in by dark.

Mine are 100%, strictly indoors. Our apartment complex doesn't really allow cats, but we got an exception!
Yay!

Me too - it is reasonably safe (touch wood) where we live, and they all adore being outside.

I keep a closer eye on Molly and Sláine because they are more vulnerable, but Bobby and Slayer can spend nearly as much time outside during daylight as they like. When we own our own property (very soon, I hope) I plan to get a Purrfect fence installed for them so they can enjoy the outside in safety.

They are all microchipped.
