It is categorically not ever "impossible to avoid".

Exactly. It might be hard to keep a cat inside literally 100% of the time, but that's not an excuse. My cat has run out the door or knocked out the window screen a couple of times and been outside for a few hours before we noticed and caught her, but that certainly doesn't make her an "outdoor cat!"
