It really depends on where you live. We have a ton of wetlands and wildlife around our house. Our first cat matty was eaten by a fisher cat or coyote when she was only 3 years old. I wouldn't let them outside if we were next to a busy road either, I've seen a few dead ones that have been hit by cars. The two we have now are both indoors. Roger is part mainecoon and has long fluffy fur, he gets a ton of knots in his fur from just rolling around in the basement, couldn't imagine what it would like if he was outdoors, especially with all the plant burrs we get in the fall.

Eve is full grown and about the size of Roger when he was a kitten lol she is tiny. A hawk or owl would have no problem picking her up.
