10 years old, hit by a car. More unfortunately, it was the morning I had to go out of town, so only found out when the neighbour rang the doorbell (luckily? a video doorbell).

We've created cars and put them in the middle of nature.
(True, we also fed cats and still let them enjoy hunting, but that's another human hubris sin.)
If people love their cats and want to keep them safe, its just not an option. This is not a discussion or debate unfortunately, it really is that simple. Rip kitty :(
If people love their cats they let them enjoy freedom.
The only reason to keep a cat inside is when you're babysitting it when the owner goes on vacation.
Nor should somebody have a cat in a city.
If I want my humans to be safe they are gonna get locked in the house 100% of the time (no matter how much they protest), miss out on their freedom, it's really that simple to keep them safe.
But I don't love them so I didn't lock them up.
Some may die in monocycle accidents, other in crab-related incidents, but what do I care.
(However it may seem, I am, reluctantly, more inclined to indoor cats, but they do become different.)
