I used to work at an animal shelter. I must have met thousands of cats in my time there. I never met a single cat that didn’t get used to being inside 24/7. They could be sitting just feet away from a door leading straight outside, and they would not try to escape.
If your home is so hostile to cats that they’re desperate to escape no matter what you do, you should probably not have a cat.
Cats do whatever they want. Get one and you’ll know.
First, I have two.
Second, why should anyone listen to you when you admit that any cat can outsmart you? Lol
They do what you allow
Yeah, no. Cats are black hats. They’ll keep looking for exploits.
