Default ok to let cats outside?

Our cat got out by accident and he was gone for 6 nights, 7 days. I guess he was so scared since he didn't know the area, that he probably hid in a bush or a garage and was afraid to come out. He lost 4 lbs in that short a period of time, which is a lot for a cat.

In addition to the other creatures that have been mentioned, there are also a lot of Fox. By the way, I hope your cat has a collar with your new ID on it, in addition to a chip in case he gets lost.
