Don't let your cats go outside. It shortens their lifespan significantly. Cars, fights with other cats, stray dogs (my family lost 2 of their cats this way), and parasites can lower their lifespan by years.

It is also absolutely terrible for local ecosystem. House cats are responsible for 2.4 billion bird deaths in America alone every year. It is causing a decline in song birds. Keep your pets indoors.
