Ok, lets make things simple....Here's my advise and explanation:
If You Love Your Cat,
Keep It Indoors Because:
Cars kill millions of cats each year.
Outdoor cats are exposed to serious and often fatal infectious diseases such as feline leukemia and rabies.
Parasites such as fleas, ticks and intestinal worms pose a health threat to your cat. Some of these can be transmitted to humans.
Cats outdoors are often chased by dogs or other cats, and killed, injured or hopelessly lost.
Cats are often shot at, poisoned, trapped or tortured by neighbors annoyed by cats using their gardens as a litterbox or hunting birds and other small animals.
other wild animals are known to regularly kill and eat house cats.
Cats that spend time outdoors require more medical treatment and their lifespan is much shorter.
