So now this troll is saying that cats should be outside "to hunt mousies
and ratties". Maybe they should be outside playing with skunks and
raccoons, vectors for rabies...

I'm not going to enter into an argument. It's my opinion that cats like

go out in UK and they should. If I adopted a cat from a shelter here

wouldn't let me keep it totally in the house.

I adopted a pair of cats in the UK from a shelter and we were honest
about intending to keep them indoors. The RSPCA guy came for a home
visit and was quite interested to hear about indoor cats -- the idea
was clearly new to him -- but we explained more and he had no problem
with it and adopted the cats.

That surprises me. I'd like to believe you. but I don't. As much as I
don't like the RSPCA, I hope they won't ever adopt cats out for a totally
indoor home or I'll like them even less.
Cats are best indoor/outdoor. Outdoor for a bit of hunting mousies and
ratties and indoor when they prefer the bed by the fire.
I would not have a cat to keep it totally inside in the UK and I'm amazed
that the RSPCA have agreed.
