A gilded cage is better than an early grave. Or the sort of health complications they can get up to. I have seen way too many cats and dogs with things I'd rather not talk about come by. Most of them lived. Too many regret it.
As I said it's fine if it's an upgrade.
Mine enjoy the outside. If the cat had health issues, or the gilded cage is an upgrade or is better than death. I'm not convinced apartment living for humans is a great idea.
