"Fuck off I don't like you, I'm happy out here, it's where the birds are"
Edit: A counterpoint, Matt Damon told an entertaining story about adopting a small cat that they found more or less in the jungle during a vacation, pretty injured but generally fighting to survive. She hung around and ate the food they gave her for a couple of weeks and they decided we have a cat now.
He thought that they would take her home, get her veterinary care, and she would become a little jungle-cat terror of the neighborhood, but he said that once they got her home she literally never went outside again.
We have a cat like that. Spent the first 2 years of her life outside, and 13 years later she still has no desire to leave the house.
