Unless you live in the native original range for cats, and your local region has zero automobiles, and you have no issue paying vet bills for random illness or parasite infections, then sure. Its probably not that big a risk to let your cat out unsupervised.

Brits are very arrogantly incorrect about their cat care. They are driving local wildcats extinct, and feeding their pets to local foxes, badgers, and car wheels.

You can still supplement outdoor time for your cat tho. Harness/leash training isnt too difficult, just go in areas you dont expect dog walkers. And you can also build catios, outdoor spaces that are fenced in.

Still better than locking them in a cage and never letting them out

Yo I get youre a shit pet owner, but for those of us who dont need mommy to wipe, giving a pet a fulfilling life is pretty easy.

Harness training a cat is not hard to people who can be trusted to dress themselves, for example. Sorry to hear you struggle with both.
