I'm sure you know this already but eating rats and other small creatures can lead to diseases and a number of different parasites. If you do let your cat go outside it's very important that they are on flea and tick preventative and are dewormed regularly. Eating the insides of certain animals can lead to tapeworm which is not treated by regular dewormers so you should also have regular fecals done.I always get lovely "gifts" from Floss-mice, rats, birds and her avourite is frogs-live though.
One of the biggest risks to outside cats are cars and cars are everywhere, including the UK. I've lived in both the US and in Sweden and although the dangers are different in some respects it is always dangerous for cats to be roaming outside everywhere.
