LOL not a chance.
OB lived in the dilapidated forlorn broken down estate across the street [before they finally leveled the place] all winter long in wind chill factors below zero and made the trek over here once a day for kitty food all skin and bones.
I've got him all fatten up now and healthy but he is a feral cat at heart and I could never take away his freedom and force him to do something he didn't want to.
I know city folk that keep cats inside their whole life and it just seems like they really never get a chance to live it.
Nah, you can't turn a critter tame once they have a taste of the wild in'em.
I'm happy that he comes by when he wants too and I don't try to control his life or movements.
He's free and makes his own decisions on what to do.
I figure he's about 5 or 6 years old now.

My outdoor cat is 15.
The vet said she looks like she's 8

She is happy. I don't think I could make a cat stay inside.
