Sounds like the perfect opportunity to have the adult conversation about what constitutes a socially acceptable number of cows to have in your house. It's a very important conversation.
My dad used to live in the country, and a single cow got into a semi-abandoned old ranch hand house. (We assume some one left the door open. It was in there for a day or so.
That cow absolutely wrecked the place. Walls kicked in, windows smashed (frame and all), floors ripped up, table in 2 pieces, just an absolute disaster. Also, the poop.
So. ONE COW. If unsupervised.
Indoor cows obviously require more supervision than outdoor cows. That's just common sense.
Not every cow is suitable to be an indoor cow. They all have different temperaments like any other pet. Most cows do better outside or in a barn.
