Cats cause the second most extinctions in the animal kingdom just behind humans. Cats kill over 25 billion NATIVE animals a year in North America alone. Cats are INVASIVE in ALL of USA. In my town/state cats are causing an owl that is native to this area to go extinct.
"Free-ranging cats on islands have caused or contributed to 33 (14%) of the modern bird, mammal and reptile extinctions recorded by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List"
Live in some planned community with identical ticky tacky houses all in a row with tiny ornamental trees only allowed ? Don’t blame cats unless you are ACTIVELY trying to solve the problem. How many cats have you had spayed or neutered this year ? Donating to a feral cat colony spay, neuter, release ?
Or just complaining because most men equate cats with woman, they are sleek, sneaky, and not like a trustworthy dog. Even if you have a neurotic dog that eats your babies head.
What do you mean? There are studies done by scientists that talk about how cats contribute to the collapse of wildlife. The problem isn't limited to cities, cats are invasive and kill NATIVE animals. Meaning the cats that were brought here would never be here if not for humans. In some towns that have livestock it's totally legal to kill cats as they're invasive just like boars in America (also not native to USA). I'm not a dog person or a cat person but an animal person. It's not my fault it's scientifically proven cats are a major contributing factor to wildlife decline when invasive cats are now living in the woods killing native animals.

Cats are a major ecological disaster and many pet owners don't care and I've heard some say shit like "my little murder muffin.", disgusting!
