    Keep the damn cats indoors. Simple. If you can’t provide them with entertainment and stimulation in the house, then don’t get a cat.

      Precisely. It really isn’t tough. Also, letting your cat freely roam outside is DETRIMENTAL to the cat itself. Plenty of studies have shown a plethora of health risks as well as a decreased life span. Not only is it terrible for the ecosystem, it’s bad for the cat too.
