    If you can’t or won’t let your cat outside then don’t get a cat. A zoo keeping a cat, big or small, inside with no access to outdoors would rightly be charged with animal cruelty.

      Zoos don’t keep domesticated animals. The physical requirements are not the same, domestic cats are perfectly fine indoors as long as you give them any amount of stimulation. Zoos definitely don’t let their tigers out in public unattended

      besides all the reasons not to, house cats that are let out are a plague on ecosystems.
