Our 7 year old cat had to be moved entirely indoors when we bought an apartment and she.adapted to it a lot easier than we expected, naturally we had to buy her some toys and towers and toilets and things but she’s doing fine.
That said I don’t think it would be fair to just throw every cat indoors as not all owners and cats would be ready for that, microchilping and registration should be mandatory but it also needs to be affordable otherwise some just won’t do it and it would be impossible to police
We had a kitten a long time ago that we kept indoors for a few years, but then she escaped once and that was it, she wouldn’t stay indoors anymore. She lives with my in-laws now, but hardly stays in the house. Only coming back to eat every day.
