Again, feral:
"Un-owned cats, as opposed to owned pets, cause the majority of this mortality. "Also
"Anthropogenic threats, such as collisions with man-made structures, vehicles, poisoning and predation by domestic pets, combine to kill billions"
Um, habitat destruction anybody? The territorial range of house cats seems like it's going to be largely confined to a zone already rendered pretty much uninhabitable for native fauna by suburban development.

What does a study of feral cats on small islands have to do with domestic cats in Britain? RSPB don't seem to be worried
