It's not technically true that indoor cats wouldn't "know how to survive" outdoors.
Cat instinct doesn't go away. Cats would be more capable than small dogs or specialized breeds of dogs that serve no purpose.
As long as they have their claws and aren't wearing one of those stupid bells around their neck, they could survive depending on age and where they're located. Won't help the bird population thrive, but...most would survive depending on the area obviously and weather.
Some cats are scared of the outside for some reason, but my cats are dying to get out there.
Ultimately though, the top 8 that other person posted is probably true. So...they're better off being indoors for sure.
It's mainly about exposing them to things that kill feral cats already. Feral cats live an average of 4-5 years. Indoor cats live 12-18 years on average. ---
