This was my family when I was a kid. We never had a cat for more than 2-5 years because there were coyotes and pumas out there. Except for one cat who lived to old age. I think we had a dozen cats during my childhood. I remember thinking they were happier with their freedom, even though it meant their lives were short.
I know better now. I still think cats are happier when they can go outside, but it's not worth the risk to their lives and also the lives of the local smaller wildlife.
It breaks my heart with how many irresponsible pet owners there are. There's no good reason to let your cat outside. People who can't accept that shouldn't have cats.
Not all places in the world have coyotes. Some places are safe for cats. I don't have cats, but there are several out-doors cats where I live that seems to be doing just fine.
Until they get hit by a car. Or wander into the wrong yard and get killed by a dog. I see more dead cats on the side of the freeway/highway than any other animal by far.
