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.

Really? In fairly central London you can see all sorts of songbirds, foxes, hedgehogs, frogs, snakes, bats etc. What native fauna that a cat could prey on is excluded from that area? Deer? Wild boar?

I think the rspb donor Vs cat owner Venn diagram has quite large crossover...
