Yup, totally sound. We've got 4 cats and two can't stand each other, but over the years they have come to a grudging acceptance and mostly they ignore each other. They never had collars either, they are roaming though but I am out in the sticks and they mostly keep the rodent population in check. We have one, we assume is an abandoned cat, who turned up a few years ago and initially would not come inside and will probably never be a cuddle cat but he certainly appreciates the indoor life when its cold or wet outside!
Completely agree with all your points. I also don't let my cats out even though I live in the UK and we don't have a somewhat delicate fauna - I just don't think any bird deserves to die because of my cat (in any case we don't even have nice birds - the local bird life is completely decimated by these dreadful wood-pigeon bullies). I also don't like the idea of losing a beloved pet who gets run-over (or whatever) by a car.
I took in a stray just before winter. However, I discovered she has a condition called pyometra which is puss leaking from the vagina. So i have to constantly wipe her, it's disgusting because the fluid is an opaque light yellowy-green color but now i'm used to it. As a result I have stains all over my carpet, floor, halls, sofa, everywhere, even on my bed. So i never allow her into my bedroom now. Every time i wipe the puss from her I will say "bum bum", now she is trained and when I say "bum bum" she will do a downward dog posture to allow me to wipe her.
Forgot to say, when I found her in the summer she had a collar on. But i was feeding another feral cat in my backyard when she showed up. My thought is, she was abandoned intentionally by her previous owner due to her condition.
Yes, I totally agree with you.
Especially about the bells on the collar.

My cat is free range, i would rather her shit outside than have to deal with the litterbox
