925 pet cats tracked across six countries had small home ranges but affected local wildlife

Research conducted on 925 pet cats in six different nations sheds light on how these pets influence local wildlife populations.

Each month, owners reported their cats killing an average of 3.5 animals, indicating a serious ecological concern.

With most cats patrolling limited areas close to human habitation, the study suggests that their predatory habits can overshadow those of native species in residential neighborhoods.
