Si je n’arrive pas à le retrouver rapidement, il va mourir... C’est un chat d’appartement, vous comprenez, il n’est pas fait pour vivre en liberté dehors... Alexandre – Eh bien c’est tout à fait regrettable.

If I can’t find him quickly, he'll die... He’s an indoor cat, you see, he can't live on his own outside...
Alexandre – Well, that’s a real pity.

It would be "she" for a female cat.

Yes, I saw that you started with "he" and I continued to use "he" in the next sentences. But now I'm thinking about that, I remember that a long tie ago we translated a short story from English to French and that "le chat" was feminine in English and not neutral, like the words ship, boat...

Of course. Thanks France.
As she seems really upset, I started with "he".

How about...
He’s an indoor cat, you see, he can't live on his own outside...
or
It’s an indoor cat, you see, it can't live on its own outside... ??
