Enough bawwing about the indoor/outdoor, /an/. AUSFAG HAS THE SOLUTIONS. In my town, there is a council law saying no cat is allowed to roam free at any time. Of course, most people don't give a shit, but our family does. We built an extension on the deck and lawn, kind of like a chicken run, a 4x4 metre box of lattice. We put our two cats in their pen every day, from about 8am to 6pm. They have wooden decking, some dirt and grass, a roof over half of the area, plenty of shelves to lie out on, a couple scratching posts and a bunch of blankets for the cold months. They love it, they're contained, but they're also outdoors and get to see birds, our dog, and the neighbours if they climb up high enough to look over the fence.
Also, OP, don't worry about your cat. They have an inbuilt radar of "these places give me food and warmth". They'll eventually come back to your house. My friend's cat Gypsy went missing for three months once. She'd been living on a golf course near the beach, got chased out of there, and was on her way home when the animal control van got her. Luckily she had a microchip.
