Is it cruel to raise a cat inside?
No. If anything it's the best thing for them. You can have a space outside for them to play around in if you have that available but if not it's fine.

Only ethical way to keep a cat, elsewise in becomes little more than an invasive species.
It's best raise it inside so it grows up an indoor cat.
it is as cruel as raising kids in cities far from nature.
just give them supervised play in the backyard
No, it is better to have them crushed beneath the wheels of a car, maimed by other wild animals or poisoned by the sickos that poison cats

Not really. Some cats really don't like it outside, or want to be outside for like 20 minutes to take a sun bath.
Depends on the cat, really.
The cruelest thing you can do to a cat is to never play with it.

Raise it at the vet
our old cat was an outside cat before he died. he would go in and out as he pleased, our current cats sometimes make a break for the door when its opened but they always come back. i think it just depends on the cat.
