It's cruel to let them outside. Humans feed cats, therefore cats do not actually need food to survive. However cats are little assholes, and they like to kill things
Domestic cats being supported by humans have wiped out billions of birds and mammals each year and are on track to continue to do so until they wipe out entire populations and eventually species.
In nature the cats would die off due to lack of food, but we feed them and keep their numbers artificially inflated.
