Realistically, outdoor cats don't travel much. They just hang out in their neighborhood, chill in their favorite spots, etc.

Cats have their territory and that's where they spend their time, doing cat things. It's just that an outdoor cat's territory isn't limited by walls.

Murder local wildlife, cause property damage to neighbors, kill neighbors pets, spread disease. Roaming cats suck, and so do their entitled owners who think that everyone's property belongs to their pet

I guess some cats love to piss on doors but I don't think much if any property damage is being done by pet cats. I don't think I have ever heard of a cat kiling a pet either.

Cats should be indoor only because they are murder hobos when it comes to wild birds and small animals.

Spreading diesease I can't comment on. What diesease do cats kept as pets spread?

Roaming pet cats scratch screen doors, destroy door mats, piss on doors, shit in gardens, kill wildlife for sport, fight other cats, catch diseases from other cats (pet and feral), get pregnant, get hit by cars, get mauled by dogs. All of these things happen even in countries where cats are “native”.
