Cat was constantly sneaking out. Cat is much loved throughout neighborhood. Got really good at hunting. To the point a neighbor started shooting at it.

We finally got good at keeping the cat inside. Cat became super depressed.

Got a second cat. second cat peed in every laundry basket and bed in the house in a couple of days. Oh and first cat hated second cat.

Things have calmed down, and cats are happy, and we now have a gate to bedrooms.
