While I am sure that the confines that the shelters give cats while they wait for adoption are certainly not inhumane, they are usually Spartan and lacking of social contact. You seem to want to weigh in on the inside-cat/outdoor-cat debate…but that’s not really what this post was about. If you like, I could write an article on the subject and try to frame commentary from both sides if you’d like to add your 2¢ to that. Let us know.

Now if you wish to be dumb like the Egyptians, be my guest. As for the Comfy Home argument, cats are almost impossible to domesticate. Just leave them live in their own environment for which they've been built. Confining them to your house in order for you to "Give them love" is dumber than the Egyptian argument.
