I think it tough to say what will happen to cats if they go outside. I feel bad making a cat stay in when we have so much land ( and zero chance of getting hit by a car) for them to roam. I have always let them go outside, but have always kept an eye on them. I would never let them out at night or when I am not at home. My last cat lived to age 21 and my current cat is age 15. When she goes outside now she just walks around from one door to the other and then back in the house. Other family members let their cats out and they have never had a problem. If you keep them in then you will know that they are totally safe. I believe many things that happen in life are merely being in the wrong place at the wrong time.
