I'm pretty sure that kittens are in the statistic. Maybe not those who are born wild, but adopted kittens that have lost their lives... And not only the babies, also young adults are still at high risk. Remember Luna's childhood friend, Cleo? She died a couple of weeks before her first birthday; she was hit by a car.

I think - like Fyrewolf has said - when they have reached a certain age and know that they have to be careful, they can get old. I saw a cat living in my old neighborhood that must have been VERY old because she seemed to have been there forever. She always sat on the pavement or under the parking cars, but nothing ever happened to her.
