I witnessed basically this exact conversation once. We were in the exam room, and our vet stepped out to the computer in the hallway to show a woman her cat’s X-rays. Apparently it had been attacked by a dog and wouldn’t make it.
The vet literally said, “So what did we learn today? Don’t let your cat outside if you want it to live.”

Funny.
In Europe we’ve the same discussion for the opposite reasons.
Do not let the cat outside, it will kills other animals.
It’s really both. Eventually cat will get into an accident, but on the way there it will take a whole bunch of smaller animals and birds with it.
Never had a cat that got into an accident, though one of my current cats is an idiot when it comes to walking across the drive
This reads a bit like “that hasn’t happened to me so that doesn’t happen”.
“I don’t wear my seatbelt, but nothings happened so it’s probably fine”
But that’s the point. I don’t want mice around the house.
Wow, that’s ruff
