Why would you want to leave a domesticated animal out in the cold all night?! Weird.
I could never let mine outdoors simply because I would always be dreading the knock on from someone hitting them with a car (and people don't even bother telling you when its cats a lot of the time) or if they didn't come home.

I mean our first cat went outside and lived until she was 19, got put to sleep as she was old. Our second cat went outside and lived until she was 17, also got put to sleep cos she was old and unwell. Our current cat is 5 and goes outside and so far so good so we must be doing something right?

Yeah you're lucky. Daily posts from people in my neighborhood about their dead or lost cats cured me from ever wanting to have a cat that goes outside

To be clear I don’t leave my cat out all night. She knocks to be let back in. I would though cos she wakes me up at 3am without fail to be escorted to her bowl and there’s usually already food in it for her. Winds me up 🤣 I think it depends where you live though. We don’t live on a main road nor does our cat go out the front, she’s usually in our garden, on top of the shed or in the neighbours garden. When it’s raining or freezing cold she’ll come back in a lot quicker then in the summer months.

Or people feeding it or picking it up themselves. I've seen an increase in people asking whether cats have owners because they keep showing up in their garden because you know... there's a food source and they're cats

I think it does depend on where you live and maybe the cat themselves. Some go off to completely different neighbourhoods and it doesn't matter that you don't live by the main road at that point
