There are coyotes that regularly kill cats in Vancouver itself. I'm close enough to the wilderness out in the burbs that we see black bears at our neighborhood parks. There's no WAY that I'm letting the cats out. (Plus, close to a major street and a highway.)
I do completely understand that different people live in different environments and that in many places it's completely fine to let cats out and they have no massively insane risks against them. I just haven't ever lived in those places, sadly.
