Well, statistics say an indoor only cat lives much longer than the 2 year average for an indoor/outdoor cat. It's not just cars, but disease, dogs, other cats and predators like coyotes. Ask around, many people who post here have indoor only cats that are very happy to view the world through a window. Some have trained their cats (or the cats have trained them) to go out on a lead and harness, others have safe enclosures from simple ones to fancy multi-story ones but all are secure and keep the cats safe from dogs and most other perils. Personally, I've had indoor only cats for the last 30 or so years. Most have really not shown any interest in the outdoor life. I took one outside when I was considering building an enclosure...he cried to go back in the house!
