Wheres the popcorn eating emoji when you need it?

Cats - feral or domestic - eat birds when the opportunity arises. To say domestic cats dont do that just aint so. Cats are natures killing machine. A fancy collar does not remove the predator from the pet.

The worst bit is that they don't even kill to eat. They torture things for sport. Nasty feckn things. (And cat owners "aw my little moggy bought me a present of this mangled corpse" ... sheesh)

There is plenty of evidence the damage domestic cats do.
If you let your kids do what cats do (fucking and fighting with the neighours, ripping up and shitting in their garden, roaming at all hours, torturing animals etc) you'd probably find yourself having a conversation with a government department about your unsuitability to have them!

I can tell you for free the numbers of birds that cats get are a fraction of the numbers of things that don't fly. And the numbers of birds that the average cat gets that are not of it's own kill are higher than you'd think. They might be natural predators but your average domestic is also as lazy as F and won't put in the effort required to seriously dent the bird population. Having said that you do get outliers like with any statistics, but locally the domestic cat population (with the appropriate motivation) does more to keep the rats in check than just about everything else that humans are doing - this is in a lifestyle block area which is one of the worst culprit landholding types for reservoir populations of rodents etc.

Rats do more damage to bird populations than cats - as they tackle the eggs which removes all chance for the breeding population to breed and also once the pairs are stressed they tend to move out of the area which creates more issues.

On the other hand, feral cats are utter bastards and there is no place for them on this god's green earth.
