Why would you think it's cruel to keep them inside their whole life? Cats don't need to go out and potty like dogs do and they have everything they need inside. My cats eat, sleep, potty, and play all inside the house. They do like to sit by the window and watch what's going on outdoors but they aren't missing anything by not being outside. The only purpose to letting a cat go outside is to risk it being hurt, poisoned, or killed. Outside cat do not last long. Believe me..I've had several outside cats growing up and they never live long.
