Don't let your cat outside unless they are in a enclosed area
Why?
Outdoor domestic cats have directly contributed to the mass extinction of at least 33 species of wildlife worldwide: https://www.fws.gov/sites/default/files/documents/keep-cats-indoors.pdf
Plus the obvious answer, they live longer when they can't be mauled or run over.
Humans contribute to way more.
