I love my animals enough that I would rather they live a long and healthy life. My cats are indoors only for that same reason.

Any extra "enjoyment" in their life from being outside is dwarfed by the diseases, parasites, and very likely possibility they die in a terrible way. (Hit by a car, tortured/poisoned/shot by some evil human, torn up by predators like dogs/wolves/coyotes).
