Get the inside measurements of a window, buy a small cat door online, and set the cat door as an insert in ply, and that whole thing as an insert in that window. Ideally, a window with an exterior ledge that the cat can reach from the ground. Goes in and comes out with the seasons - or when I leave the house. Doesn't require a hole in any doors or walls. If security is a concern - get the remainder between the window slide and the top (or bottom) of the window - and cut a 2x2 that long to keep it from opening further with ease.
Pair that up with a tower feeder and waterer, and you have a cat you can leave. The best kind.
(if you wanna go nuts, and that fucking hairball still won't go outside outside - it's pretty easy to build a wire box run off a cat door. Push it out the hole every morning and shut it out until the evening.)
Here's one of my offenders. She's doing her favorite thing. Warming her tits and menacing chicks from above, asleep on the brooder.
