Indoor cats don't bother me near as much as indoor dogs. And I don't believe in keeping an animal outside no matter the weather conditions. I'm not stupid. But I do like my house to be clean.
I think its an acquired thing. If you're used to indoor pets, you don't smell it. I'm not, and can always tell when there are indoor pets.
Sometimes, I think its meaner to keep a dog indoors than outdoors. I had a friend growing up who had a TINY house and an ENORMOUS boxer. They had a huge fenced back yard, but the dog stayed in the house where he barely had any room to move around. I never got why they didn't let her out sometimes. Not to mention both parents smoked, so the dog (and all the kids) inhaled smoke all the time!
