Maybe don't let them outside then? Outdoor cats are absolutely horrid for native ecosystems. The amount of destruction they can cause is insane.

I love cats, grew up with them, but this is a big reason I don't want to get one for myself as an adult. Also I'd feel bad keeping my cat indoors all the time.

Many cats are perfectly suited to be indoor cats, it really does depend.

Anecdotal: I have a feral rescue who they told me couldn't be rehabilitated into an indoor cat, but after a month of being exclusively indoors (unintentionally, I had to move out of my house for mold treatment), his anxiety was almost completely gone and he started being friendly and affectionate to everyone who gave him attention.
