@ashwinvis @rjt @Sheril Cats are usually top predator in whatever ecosystem they’re a part of. Tigers, Lions, Jaguars, (Mountain cats/Pumas) etc. They are incredible animals.  @nicktron @ashwinvis @rjt @Sheril I know I'm coming across as nit picking...and I get the irony of that, however; domestic cats sit halfway on the predator list (food chain). They're small and other predators predate on them. It's a unique position for them and one I wish more people understood as it explains a lot of domestic cat behaviors. They shouldn't be allowed to roam. More cats die alone outside than "survive". @rjt @Sheril I'm quite surprised that cats kill more birds than tall buildings. But when I looked up building related deaths the estimate was up to 1billion, so quite a broad range. Given how many people have housecats in the US, how are they killing all these birds? Does the US have poor animal welfare. So cats aren't neutered, run feral & breed (the UK has the RSPCA for example)? The windfarms point def rings true though.Those quoting bird related deaths dont really give a f**k about birds.1/2 |
@rjt
Cats are the top predator in your backyard. True fact.
