indoor cats
Pets staying inside
Indoor cats are domestic cats kept exclusively inside the home, never allowed to roam outdoors.
The practice reflects concerns about traffic, predators, disease, and the ecological damage cats inflict on bird populations.
Figuratively, calling someone an indoor cat suggests they prefer staying home to going out: I'm more of an indoor cat—you go to the party without me.
