1 in 50 chance of being killed, neither would I subject my cat (or most 
anything else) to those odds."

I would be most interested to see the source of your mortality rate 
figure.  It exceeds *by orders of magnitude* any reputable estimate I 
have ever seen, and is even several times higher than the highest 
less-than-reputable estimate I've read.
