Taking outdoor cats and making them indoor is pretty cruel.
It seems easiest to first require all cats to be regged/microchipped, and a few years in start a “cats born after X date must be kept indoors and not roaming.”

Have you ever tried to stop a cat that has had outdoor access for years from going outside?
Taleya@aussie.zone 1 year ago
YES. IT’S NOT HARD.

Where do you live, in Australia or NZ, that doesn’t have a requirement that all Cats (and Dogs for that matter) be registered and microchipped?

Wow, that’s disappointing. In Victoria, both have been required since I was really little. I remember taking our cat & dog into a free council clinic to get them chipped. There’s also been a dusk to dawn cat curfew for about a decade. I thought NZ would at least be as progressive as my state on the issue.

Every damn time. “waaaah but outdoor cat” an outdoor cat has a lifespan about a tenth of that of an indoor cat. Outdoor cats are quite happy to be indoor cats if you invest the barest modicum of effort into making an environment that meets their needs rather than just going “baah fluffy murder mittens wants to go and kill natives and if I don’t let him he makes noises at me”
