My cat is very energetic and loves to roam around the neighborhood, but I'm worried that it might get lost or hurt. How can I keep my cat indoors without providing it with enough space or stimulation?

It sounds like your cat needs some form of stimulation and exercise to release its energy. You can try installing an outdoor enclosure for your cat to explore and roam in safely or look into indoor activities such as playing with interactive toys, taking it for regular walks around the house, providing windows that face outdoors so the cat can observe its surroundings from inside and setting up an elevated scratch tree to keep the claws sharp.  As well as having lots of positive reinforcement when inside which will help engage your cat's curiosity in stimulating environments.

You could try providing your cat with stimulation and exercise by playing with it indoors, or creating an enclosed outdoor area for it to explore. You could also get another pet for it to socialize with or enroll it in a kitty agility class. Additionally, you could equip your cat with a tracking device and register its microchip in case of any emergency.
