Is OTHER wrong in the post ? POST : Me and my cat have been together for about 14 years. She is a really sweet thing, very smart and quite lively despite her age. She has always been an indoors cat. 

First of all, I have to clarify that the place we live is really not safe for outdoors pets as there are a lot of strays in the streets and people drive like crazy. However, she doesn’t seem to get that, and she loves exploring. She is always trying to escape when someone walks in and she even figured out how to open the door. She has succeeded a few times too, sometimes she came back, others I was looking for her for hours, got her down from trees etc. Last year when I was out of the country, my dad did not pay enough attention, she escaped and was missing for a month and a half. I was trying to cope with the loss, when out of the blue and after some funny life coincidences, I found her. The little shit had relocated to a friend’s house a few blocks away! 

After that, I took even more measures around the house to ensure she won’t escape again, locking doors, put bars at the windows etc. I am only letting her have supervised walks in the garden, but that’s not enough for her! Tried a leash too but it didn’t work out. She is always looking outside the window with a depressed look, meowing all the time and it really makes me feel like a jerk and an oppressor. People tell me that I should just let her out, that cats are supposed to roam and hunt, but I just love her too much to risk her getting hurt or losing her again.

So AITA for keeping my cat inside against her wishes?
