  • 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?

  • Some of the native species of voles & shrews?
    The slow worm where is still thrives is often predated by domestic cats.
    Some of our larger native beetles and crickets/grasshoppers, were they to be present in greater densities would also be be hunted/killed.
