Their natural habitat is outside!

A cat's natural habitat is not North America. They are very destructive to our local ecology.

Yup. The hard truth is that we shouldn't have pet cats at all over here.

I get that they can harm the environment (especially when there is an overpopulation); that's not what I'm asking. The question was how is it bad for the cat?

cats can easily get FIV and other viruses, and outdoor cats live shorter lifespans
