indoor cat
Never-outside pet
An indoor cat is a cat kept exclusively inside the home, never allowed to roam outdoors.
The term often appears in adoption listings and veterinary contexts, where indoor cats are considered safer from traffic, predators, and disease.
Figuratively, calling someone an indoor cat suggests they prefer staying home to going out: I'm more of an indoor cat—you won't find me at clubs.
