I’d rather risk it in the world than never be allowed to leave my house, despite it being safer there.
That said, the wildlife-murdering concern is a real one. My cats are porch cats who hang out with me when I’m working from the patio table or doing non-loud landscaping things, then follow me in after, and nobody dies.
It’s not even just wildlife. My sister was attacked by the neighbour’s cat while she was playing in our back garden as a toddler. She still has scars under her lips.
People letting their pet cats loose is just as bad as dog owners doing the same.
She probably asked to, they like to wander in and out of the human caves as they please
I’m sure they like being alive more, but sure

You also are not a cat. Don’t pretend you know what’s best for animals by anthropomorphising them
You are literally doing that tho, thinking you know whats best for the cat
I basing my assumptions on actual studies on cats’ life expectancy and livelihood, not on pretending to be one
