He wants to go outside. After 14 years, he should know that he cannot. Still, he tries. I admire his indomitable spirit. (media.piefed.world)

He wants to go outside, but after 14 years in Brooklyn, he very well knows that he cannot. I relate to his sense of adventure, but I love him too much to simply let him run off into the wild.

What is there to interpret? I leave the door open and she just sits there looking and smelling, but has no desire to go out. When I take her out she b-lines it straight back inside. She can be inside and if she sees a cow she comes running to me to hide. Its just a cow, slow and vegetarian. There's no interpretation, my cat desires safety and security.

    Super interesting. I didn't know cats could revert from being feral.

    I can't say that she did revert. Her behavior would be better explained that way. She grew up in the streets and was looking for a safe place to live, which is how I got her. She tried to make our machine shop her home. Outside is was constant competition for food and space. I gave her that and she decided to trust me. So now we're just feral together.
