You are lucky! I wanted girl cats, partly because they roam less, but we ended up with 2 brothers. (Humbug chose younger son and that was that.) My previous cat, Zil, was a lovely old lady who would sit on my lap all day long.
In our old, city-centre house we thought Hum would have been quite content as an indoor cat. (His brother would have gone crazy and shredded all our stuff.) He used to bring us sticks and sweet wrappers and pile them up by the back door while Leicester stayed out late killing mice. But then we moved and he discovered countryside. And bunnies...
The weird thing is how placid and cuddly he is when he is at home. I don't think it's exactly an urge to roam that keeps him out. More that he's too laid back to bother coming home unless he's seriously wet or hungry. Then he might not bother leaving home for a couple of weeks. He spends a lot of time asleep with his paws in the air.
