Yes that’s another great point! Culture plays a role. Kinda what I was getting at regarding rural culture. It’s normal in rural culture to have pets that are indoor/outdoor or even sometimes purely outdoor pets!

It's normal in many places, but it's also brutal on the local small wildlife, especially birds. And then there's the local larger wildlife, which can be rough on the cats.

There's some arguement that cat impact on birds is not as great as suggested, in that most birds they catch are weak and likely to die soon anyway. Also the numbers are down to the large amount of cats whereas an individual domestic cat catches relatively few in their life.
