I guess I have the opposite experience. I have several cats, they all live outside and always have. They're fat and happy and won't stay inside even if I try to take them in. I live in the country in the middle of no where and none of them have ever been eaten by animals, or contracted rabies. I guess its just how you raise them.

I live in northern NJ which is one of the most densely populated areas in the country. I had one cat long ago hit by a car and another suffer unexplained injuries after roaming around outside. One was a pretty severe stomach wound like she tried to jump over a fence and missed.
My current cats couldn't care less about the outside and I'm happy with that. I know they're safe and warm, and ever since my dog got hit by a car right in front of me as a child (extremely traumatic) I have a pretty severe fear of animals being hit by cars so no outside for any of them ever again.
