That's a big part of the difference. Cats in the old world are probably fine since everything there has evolved alongside them. But the native species in the Americas haven't had housecats to worry about until relatively recently in evolutionary terms.

I'm a outdoor cat person but in fairness one issue to consider is that while cats are natural in Europe, their current numbers and general location are something that's pretty unnatural. I definitely err on the side of not being concerned about it, but I do think it's something to consider as people have more pets.

Personally I have one cat that has brought in a single frog, and another that exclusively brings in recycling.
