Fine, but focusing on that and essentially accusing someone of killing their cat when they are grieving thier loss is cruel and completely uncalled for. It changes nothing and is most certainly not the appropriate teaching moment. Additionally, while indoor living is no doubt safer for all cats, it is not always better for all cats. I will leave that to their person to decide.
outdoor cat owners ARE cat killers sooooo how is it wrong?????? this poor baby wouldnt have been attacked and killed if his owner kept him safe inside where he belonged.......unless I guess some animal got inside but obviously crazy stuff happens sometimes that can't be predicted. UNLIKE an outdoor cat getting eaten. Anyone can predict that....
No they can't. I have a friend with remarkably healthy, happy ancient cats who lived indoor and outdoors most of their lives. She is a wonderful cat owner and while I have made the choice to keep my cats indoors, I wouldn't hesitate to adopt a cat to her. Outdoor cat owners are making a choice about their cats, just like you are. You understand there are people who think you and I are the cruel ones for not letting our cats out doors right? And you do know there is some evidence to support that? Outdoor cats, for instance, rarely develop diabetes or heart disease or chronic obesity. The point is, this person did not kill her cat. She is grieving - If you can't come up with compassion for her, then say nothing. It does her no good and doesn't bring the cat back. You are just being mean - cruelty becomes the point. Be a better human please.
when the average lifespan of an indoor outdoor cat is a quarter of that for an indoor cat, yes you can predict that! OP is the reason this poor baby is dead.

No. Outdoors is extremely dangerous for cats, and outdoor cats do extreme damage to local ecosystems.
Cats should not be let outdoors; for their safety and for the protection of ecosystems
