It depends on where you live. If you live in a city without predators, then letting your cat go outside in the backyard gives them a very exciting experience. If you live somewhere with coyotes, then your cat is going to die.

Outdoor cats have a shorter average life span in cities, too. One big cause is cars. Also, it's worth noting that house cats are essentially an invasive species and do a lot of damage to bird populations.

It's pretty widely recommended to keep cats indoors.

Dogs have to be put on a leash when their outside, outdoor city cats should be too. Stops them from running away, and killing birds.

The leading cause of death of all birds and mammals in North America is the domestic cat. That's not okay.
