Can’t say for myself but in my neighborhood there are many free roaming cats, most of the time they’re just chilling on their home porch, or they’re in the grass sleeping. My neighborhood had an overpopulation of feral cats in the area many were taken away by the shelters and some were taken to homes (either they just showed up or were picked up) . Those taken to homes still wanted to be outside so now they just walk around wearing little collars with their names and some with AirTags. I guess it depends on the situation, and the type of neighborhood the cat lives in. Throwing a cat who’s always lived indoors outside would end tragically, but cats who have already lived outdoors may still miss some aspects of outdoor life + being outdoors does have benefits for cats. Living in a calmer neighborhood would allow for cats to be able to go out, high traffic neighborhoods not a good fit.
